If you’ve got a tired old Jeep or Valiant at home that could do with a liven up, then Mopar Australia might have just the thing for you in the form of two new Hemi V8 Crate engines.
The Mopar name is renowned for its association with high performance Dodge and Chrysler products and is these days part of the Stellantis automotive conglomerate, created by the merger of the Italian-American Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the French Groupe PSA.
6.4 Litres of pure muscle
Born in 1937 as the name of a line of antifreeze products, Mopar made its mark in the 1960s during the muscle-car era with performance parts to enhance speed and handling for both on-road and racing use.
A simple combination of the words MOtor and PARts, Mopar these days integrates service, parts and customer-care operations, but retains a strong focus on developing and selling high performance products.
And engines don’t come much more high performance than twin beasts Mopar Australia has announced – the 527kW/868Nm Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 6.2-litre Supercharged Hemi V8, and the 361kW/644Nm 6.4 392 Crate Hemi V8 from the Grand Cherokee SRT.

The 6.2 Supercharged Crate Hemi V8 Engine was first seen in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk which is one of the fastest accelerating SUVs on the planet.
Both engines are available at Jeep dealerships, starting from $16,000 +GST for the 6.4 392 Crate Hemi V8 Engine and $29,000 +GST for the 527kW Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 6.2-litre Supercharged Hemi V8.
Both units are sold as complete engines with water pump, front sump oil pan, intake manifold with throttle body, fuel injectors and coil packs.
