C'mon, Bill ------, say it!
Real Jeeps have 72 horsepower four-cylinder engines. Nothing else is a
Real Jeep, and that 4.0 liter six-cylinder monstrosity is NOTHING like a
Real Jeep engine. Heck, Real Jeeps don't even use "liters," it's a 134
cubic inch motor. ;)

Real Jeep are not limited to the 401 CID V8 AMC put in them. They
may have a two thousand horsepower crate motor:
