Add in the frame and suspension reinforcements needed to handle 470 pound-feet of torque, heavier brakes, and other gear, and you get a price that\u2019s probably a bargain compared with making one yourself\u2014though you won\u2019t have a spare V6 when you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2145\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autobison.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mopower-for-autobison.jpg\" alt=\"Wrangler 392 and 2-liter turbo\" width=\"700\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autobison.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mopower-for-autobison.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.autobison.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mopower-for-autobison-440x295.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.autobison.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mopower-for-autobison-597x400.jpg 597w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second story covers a delay in American-made turbocharged two-liter four-cylinder \u201cGME\u201d engines, as the transformation of a former transmission plant in Indiana into an engine plant has been delayed. One may even ask why they were converting over a new plant rather than using space at Trenton or Dundee. In the meantime, the engines will continue to be shipped over from Italy; but don\u2019t expect a flood of the thrifty-yet-powerful motors until the last quarter of 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new site MoPower.com had a busy first day with two new stories.
