I'd be surprised and love to see the engineering behind how the 392 does meet crash...etc and 3.0 inline 6 doesn't. But in the world of analysis, milimeters matter quite a bit. I just like looking a structural reports.

I got better gas mileage in a 392 Challenger than my Mojave. 392 really isn’t that bad if you don’t drive like an asshole all the time.

Challenger is not a brick...

No, it’s an anchor. I actually owned a 392 Challenger, have you?

Nope. Congrats

 

[Challenger85]

Nope. Congrats

Didn’t think so. Thanks!

WTH are you both talking about? The Challenger is not a brick or an anchor, it’s more like a giant suppository.

I thought it was foreplay or something, so I stayed out of it - ?

I would definitely upgrade to the 3.0 I6 but only if I can have it with a manual transmission. However I SERIOUSLY doubt that will happen but stranger things have happened.

 

[Beowulf]

yes, Hurricane with a manual, and especially if I can get it with the AWD transfer case.

From what I have read, the Hurricane is too long for fit the JT/JL platform, but a 2nd smaller (less powerful) engine is in works for global use

 

[Teqsand]

The new Hurricane should be the standard engine for the Mojave. The current V6 in mine feels barely adequate. Having to wait for the Hurricane to drop into other Jeep and RAM models first would be irritating. Ready to trade mine on day one.

The mojave just needs a factory supercharger

Cuts Emissions, Increases Fuel Economy And Is More Powerful. Anything that gives more Power and cuts emission means more problems with buildup and failure due to higher stresses. Not my type of thing. Still love the old blocks. Just enough power and live forever.

It is the same with the Diesels. Great engines, until you mess with recirculating emission and trying to add systems to make it fart rainbows and butterflies.

Screaming Jimmy's are my favorite diesels, I will own something with one of those someday. But yeah, modern diesels don't really catch my interest.

It is actually designed to fit anywhere that a Hemi fits, so it would fit in the JL/JT platforms. Biggest problem is that it would have to be certified in the platform it is used in, and so far that is the Grand Cherokee L and the Wagoneer. As a dealership technician, I am not interested in owning a Hurricane engine, but I understand wanting more power. I just don't want it if it involves the additional complications of this new engine. Incidentally, we are beginning to see failures in the 2.0 liter that shares a lot of technology with the 3.0. This does not bode well for the 3.0, but they will eventually get it worked out right.
