You will need to figure out what youre gonna use for a transmission 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.

Forget the LS1 and turbo it.

I think that was his plan. he'd need new exhaust with the LS1....

Think thats to much power for that little short wheel base ,it would prob twist like a pretzel

Hopefully you're being sarcastic! LS1's only have around 350hp

If I had to choose between a big dumb v8 and a turbo straight six... psshhh! <- cyber bov impersonation.

Found my HX30 last weekend. Once I swap the rear axle I'm turning back to turboing it. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahpsssssssssh!

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.

Why the hate for the EVs?
