Re: more horse power
You will need to figure out what youre gonna use for a tranny behind it. Tire size will have alot to do with gear choices. The ls1 is a good engine and yes it can be put in a jeep. As for what youll need is a way to hook the drivetrain to the engine, new motor mounts, wiring harness and ecm. And that is just to start with.

Re: more horse power
skip the corvette engine. Go electric and get all the speed you need! There is a company in AZ converting jeeps to electric.
Go to YouTube and find the electric eCo jeep.

That's a cool Jeep in that video, but I hate electric vehicles. |
