840HP DEMON SWAP on a Brand New 392 Jeep Wrangler!

We bought a brand spanking new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, with the sole intent of ripping out the factory V8 Hemi engine...only to swap in an 840 horsepower SRT Demon engine. Who says a Jeep can't be fast?

For Engine vs Motor: although it’s used incorrectly to the point of irrelevance, there is an actual engineering definition for both. An engine generates its power internally via reaction and a motor draws it externally. Hence “combustion” and “steam” engine vs “electric” motor. The electric motor pulls its power from an separate battery. The steam and combustion engines generate its power from thermal conversion by lighting shit on fire inside the engine itself.

[@trjnsd6874]

Finally explained, and we’ll done, Sir! Now, back to Kevin and Brittney “motorboating”, an image I just can’t think about….!

[@justinredman4389]

What about Rocket motor??? I was taught that an engine uses atmosphere for an oxidizer and a motor brings along it's oxidizer...

[@schweglerd]

NERD ALERT!

[@Zankaroo]

@@justinredman4389 As far as I found they are used interchangeably even by Wernher Von Braun. But in the model/hobby rocket engines is used for liquid fueled rockets while motor use solid. Except by the company Estes, as they call everything an engine.

Spectacular! Great to see young people learning these skills and DOING! At their age I was doing this, only with plastic model kits! Sad to see the poor quality Jeep is turning out - did I see rust on welds on your new 392 frame before AMW started cutting? Mind is blown thinking of the R&D that went into these modifications! Too many “shocking” double entendres to play with…. Gotta get Bec to get Jelly into “fighting trim”! Good to see Bec and Chris smiling and doing. LiteBriteNationMentalMindBlow!

She did a beautiful welding job on that frame. Outstanding! Does she have a cool vehicle that she drives by any chance 🤔 I can't wait to hear how awesome the Demon Child is going to sound once it's all said and done. Great job Brittany describing those amazing Bill Stein shocks. I'm sure the Demon Child is going to ride so nice with those on it. Great to see Chris & Bec are also a part of this spectacular build.

@@trjnsd6874 I mention a woman doing great things in a male dominated industry and you felt the need to inject your opinion on men learning the same craft? My Son is a mechanic/fabricator and it's 10 times easier for guys to get hired and trained for fabrication jobs over women. A company willing to hire a female for that position and a female willing to learn that trade is more impressive to me.

[@cath2035]

I feel like the new generation is lucky too, better équipement, better knowledge from the get go. We used to weld with arc welders, nowadays kids be asking me wtf is stick welding? They all got their fancy machine we pre set setups and auto calibrate depending on what you weld..

I should add an AMW Gladiator/Wrangler to my UBER fleet.. Delivery times would be cut in half.

A motor is electric and an engin runs on gas or some kind of fuel. So with the whole motor mount vs engine mount debate if it has an electric motor it is holding in place than it would be a motor mount if it is an engine than it would be called and engine mount.

Sadly, in order to buy an AMW turnkey vehicle I'd have to stretch that bad boy over 15 years like a mortgage. Happily, you'll never see Payton complaining about not being able to find a job and being $100k in debt for a gender studies degree. She's smart and has a very marketable skill.

All nice and amazing stuff, way over the top. How about some talk about warranty and service for the vehicle. Stuff like any manufacturer warranty still valid? How to get service if you live thousands of miles from AMW? Can ECM service at dealer still available with aftermarket tunes (and ECM) on it? (I refer to the engine control as an ECM) No doubt their builds are amazing but vehicle ownership and service after the purchase is important. 🙂
