1982 Jeep Wagoneer Limited 5.3l Vortec 4l60e Swap Fully Restored on 2040-cars
Cedar City, Utah, United States
This Jeep Wagoneer Limited has just undergone a full restoration by Zephyr's
Speed Shop of Enoch Utah. It started with a motor and transmission swap. The
drivetrain is a 5.3L Vortec motor and a 4L60E transmission that came out of a
2003 Chevy Tahoe with about 90,000 miles. The engine and transmission were then
rebuilt by Anderson Machine Shop and St George Transmission of Cedar City Utah.
The transmission was built for towing and heavy duty applications. By use of an
adapter/clocking ring, this Jeep has retained its NP208 transfer case (that was
rebuilt and resealed) for full selectable 2hi, 4hi, N, 4lo 4-wheel drive capabilities.
New custom heavy duty drive-shafts were also installed. The front Dana 44 and
rear AMC 20 axles were inspected and resealed. New fluids throughout the vehicle.
New brakes, rotors and drums all around. Stops great. The front axle was rebuilt
with high performance brass Warn hubs. Suspension was all rebuilt with Procomp
shocks on all corners and a small 2” lift. This Jeep now has the ride height of
a stock Tahoe or Yukon. All of the parts required to perform this drive
train swap properly came from Novak Adapters out of Logan Utah. The engine
mounts, wiring harness, computer tune, air intake, headers, adapters, aluminum
radiator/electric fan assembly and everything else needed for this swap all
came from Novak. Their parts are great quality and designed and engineered for
this exact application. Custom 3" Magnaflow exhaust is a nice and quiet system that sounds great. With these performance parts, this motor is putting out
about 350 horsepower. Tons of power and torque to tow and off-road to your
hearts content. This Wagoneer also gets great gas mileage at about 23
miles per gallon on the freeway at 80 mph (2000 RPM's).
I have been in love with the Jeep Wagoneer body style for a long time. I
wanted to have one built as if it was a modern day car. This Jeep has all the
options one would want. Power seats, power windows and locks (a few windows run
slow from the new weatherstripping). Fuel injection and modern drive train. New
proper ride height. I believe this is a great representation of what Jeep would
be doing if they were still making this same body style.
There are a few things that I ran out of money before they were finished.
The cruise control has not been set up. The switch and wiring is there, but the
“box” will need to be installed and hooked up under the hood (about $200). The
AC system is also all there. The compressor, dryer, condenser, everything is
there. It needs custom hoses made and to be charged ($500). There are no
speakers in the Jeep. The CD player is installed and speaker wire is run to
each speaker location, but there are no speakers installed ($200). Emergency
events kept me from having this car finished and are forcing this sale.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you want more pictures.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
Chinese Jeep production confirmed with Fiat, Guangzhou agreement
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Fiat has just finalized a deal originally set up in January between it and China's Guangzhou Automotive Group to bring Jeep production to China. It remains unclear which models will be built, although we're wagering that it'll be the 2014 Cherokee. What we do know, now, is where production will take place.
According to Automotive News, Guangzhou originally wanted production to take place in its home assembly plant in its namesake city. Fiat has battled to send production to a joint venture facility established between Guangzhou and Fiat in the town of Changsha. The joint facility won out, and now the factory, originally built in 2010 with a 140,000-unit capacity, will see Jeeps rolling out of it.
Currently, the GAC-Fiat factory produces the Fiat Viaggio, a jointly developed product that is closely related to America's Dodge Dart. And while it remains unclear as to which model will join the Viaggio on the assembly line, that model is understood to ride on Fiat's Compact platform. The only Jeep to share those underpinnings is the new Cherokee, so there's not much connecting of dots needed to see why this scenario would make sense.
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets surprisingly comprehensive update, new diesel power
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Traditionally, automotive journalists can be heard muttering something to the effect of "Geeze, it's about time!" whenever a vehicle's midcycle refresh is revealed. As we routinely see and drive new models many months before the public even claps eyes on them in showrooms - and then go on to tweeze apart their minutia in our daily writings - perhaps some impatience is to be expected. With so much exposure to a given vehicle, it's fair to say we tire of most cars and trucks far more quickly than the average consumer.
The alterations are handsome, if not subtle touches from the "If It Ain't Broke" school of design.
Which is why we're pleased to say "Oh, is it time for that already?" when it comes to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The current WK2 Grand Cherokee hit the market in 2011 and climbed its way into our hearts with its rugged good looks, go-anywhere capability and surprising refinement. We're not yet tired of its appearance or performance, but even so, we're very glad to see Chrysler giving its flagship Jeep some attention, including a much-anticipated diesel powertrain option and some other economy-minded measures.
