2018 to current Jeep Wrangler JL LX3 550HP V8 Crate Engine Kit to Factory Automatic Transmission Conversion
Fully Integrated:
The Bruiser Conversions’ LX3 V8 engine kit for the Jeep Wrangler JL maintains the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) functionality. Thus, all vehicle safety, comfort, and on-board diagnostic systems work. Consequently, all instruments, indicators, gauges, and powertrain control systems (cruise control, hill descent mode, tip start, and tap shift) work in the same manner as they did when the vehicle rolled off the assembly line. Therefore, factory functions are fully integrated with the Bruiser LX3 V8 engine conversion system.
Transmission NOT INCLUDED
(bolts directly to the Jeep factory 850RE transmission)
The Chrysler Torqueflite 8 automatic transmission (ZF design) 850RE in the Jeep Wrangler JL has a rated input torque capacity of of 500 N-m (370 ft-lb). Historically, this transmission has been in use across the MOPAR fleet (Charger, Durango, Gladiator). Moreover, it has a proven history of performance and durability. Bruiser Conversions engineers the necessary adapters to connect the Bruiser LX3 performance V8 engine conversion system with the factory installed 8-speed 850RE transmission. As a result, all transmission functions work and integrate with the Jeep’s OEM software and control systems.
How do you make it run off of a Chrysler computer?
First, we start off converting the engine with our own reluctors to communicate with the Chrysler computer. Importantly, most of the internal sensors and everything external on the motor that communicates with the ECM are Chrysler based. By doing that, it gave us the capability of maintaining all of the Jeep factory options for the vehicle as if it were coming off the showroom floor.
LT engine conversions have replace the LS engine swap for Jeep Wranglers
GM has released their best small-block V8 yet with the Gen-V LT engine family! Therefore, the production of GM LS engine blocks has all but halted. The LS3 crate engine from GM Performance is no longer available. No worries! Bruiser Power Solutions has designed, tested, and released the LX3 crate engine, an LT-based engine with port injection using a Gen-IV operating system. It’s a 6.6L torque monster without the tuning and RPM limitations of factory direct injection.
Bruiser Conversions developed this complete, bolt-in, and integrated LX3 V8 crate engine kit for your JL project!
**This conversion is intended for off-road use only**
