Shaun is an off-road enthusiast who loves nothing more than exploring the great outdoors in his trusty Jeep to create amazingly cinematic videos. But to tackle the toughest trails and make it through the most rugged terrain (365 days a year), he knew he needed to make some serious upgrades to his ride.
First on the list was a new engine. The Ginger and the EPIC team opted for an America's Most Wanted 426 Hemi engine conversion, known for its impressive power and durability. We also added a set of Dana 60 axles, giving Shaun the strength and traction he needed to conquer even the most challenging obstacles.
To round out the build, We added a set of 40" tires and a Teraflex/Falcon suspension, giving his Jeep the clearance and grip it needed to tackle anything the trail could throw at it.
With these upgrades, Shaun's Jeep is now ready for anything. Or so we hope... We sent him off on adventures and look forward to seeing his videos.

I must say y'all guys do some great work. I have a couple questions I believe this Jeep Gladiator is a 2020. So should a person get a used Jeep Gladiator Rubicon let's say a V6 or get a 2023, 392 for y'all to turn it into a 426. You want the same setup he got. Which do you think would be better? 12-06-23

There are quite a few companies that do swaps like this, it's going to cost roughly 35k at the lower, 50k at the mid-level and at the higher level 75-100k for a fully blown out Heliphant install. you can go to America's Most Wanted and see what they are charging for their conversions, they are a tad on the high end.

At first I was thinking serious overkill with 426… BUT apparently I think a lot like Shawn. I love the super charger whine and all that BUT it’s problematic. It creates insane amounts of power but also heat and massive stress on every piece of the motor and drivetrain. The 426 or maybe even non SC 392 to me seems sane. IF & when you get that much weight & power in a bind (and it will happen) thats when the super charger becomes your worst nightmare. Its gonna break something if a massive amount of UNCOMMON sense is not used. I truly like this whole set up of ALL the crazy s**t I have been watching others do. I have white Rubicon Gladiator (and other Jeeps and Dodge/Ram cars trucks). My Gladiator is ODDLY my favorite disappointment… The 3.6 in my 2 door wrangler is fine, BUT IT SUCKS BALLS in the Gladiator! I’m not going to boast any bullshit that I’m going to do what Shawn did. I cant justify that level of expense (nor do I have a reason too) Shawn does (so never take that as a jab)… it’s not. ALL I truly want is a mild cam 5.7 in my Gladiator. It’s obviously not a popular swap. I don’t want to run big tires or any lift... I was crushed in a rollover accident so I’m partially paralyzed waist down (at times). Weird crushed nerves and stuff, so things get complicated for me to maneuver pretty quick & I don’t like the attention of being the helpless moron. So, I simply cant have some options i like anymore. I watch these videos to LEARN as much as possible. A 5.7 swap shouldn’t require near the upgrades Apparently the transmission needs changed regardless??? I haven’t seen anyone not changing the transmission. I get into looking into all I need to start gathering and always get pulled to something that needs more immediate attention. I’m keeping my Gladiator probably the rest of my stay here on this planet turning to hell itself, so hopefully when I get to it, the parts can still be easily available BEYOND the motor swap… I DREAM OF converting my 4 door Gladiator to a 2 door Gladiator with bobbed rear on bed and added front on bed!!! with 5.7 all stock suspension wheels and tires… that’s my ultimate dream (small Jeep truck) WHY? Its sort of part 2 of and old story of a boy with his Jeep. I still own my “first car”…. It wasn’t a car! It is a 1981 factory 304 v8; Scrambler Laredo pickup cab version. In its day it was cool! It still is! And it’s still mostly stock and at 376,000 miles it has no issues taking me any where I wanna go. That old Scrambler has to be (hands down) one of the best vehicles on the planet as far as durability and dependable. AND it endured me as a kid and stupid young adult! HOW? Who knows? So, Jeep may do dumb shit at times but at its heart, simple cant be beat in a long game of complicated. That’s my deal with the Gladiator. A little more NEEDED power but keep everything as simple and worry free as possible. Plus I want a SCRAMBLER 2.0 sitting side by side in the barn when I’m old… lol
