Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara Custom V-8 conversion 4x4

2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara Sport Utility 4-Door Description

Thank you for looking, I am the original ownerof this 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and I have taken great care with pride of ownership since new. I alwayshave been a power enthusiastever since owning my firstcar, a beautiful 1969Camaro with a small block 327 performance motor.With that being said, I knew the wrangler had astigma of being underpowered from the factory but I had always loved the versatility, design, and overall "cool" factorthat the wrangler offered.So after a number of years of somewhat sluggishperformance, I decided it was time for the upgrade. After much research and consideration I landed on the design and installationof the vehicle you see here. Thereason I decided to go with the (Chevrolet corvette LS3) vs the typical hemi conversion was mainly two fold.(Power-performance to weight ratio,& a much betterfit) If I had chosen the popular Hemi conversion I would have had to do a modification to the engine compartment and firewall due to the engine positioning, which I was naturally reluctant to due as structural integrity was aconcern for me.Yes, this installation did have its own set of challenges but we were determined to and were able to achieve a proper build.If you are in the market, I have done the research, put in the sweat equity,and will save you at least 30K off of a comparable build.Just to let you know, I love this jeepandreluctant to part with it. However, I have recently taken a job that requires significant travel which is the reason for this sale.
