V8-Swapped 1966 Jeep Wagoneer Restomod
This 1966 Jeep Wagoneer blends classic styling with modern performance through a comprehensive restomod transformation. It features a 5.3-liter Vortec V8 engine from a 2006 Chevy Silverado, mated to a GM NV3500 five-speed manual transmission. Key upgrades include an aluminum radiator, Melling oil pump, Holley oil pan, ceramic-coated headers, and Flowmaster mufflers. The exterior is finished in Desert Khaki with a Cream roof, and enhanced with custom bumpers, fiberglass fender flares, and 20-inch Detroit Steel wheels. The suspension is updated with a Heidts front subframe, Mustang II-type front setup, and four-link rear with coilovers. The interior offers black vinyl-wrapped seats, bamboo headliner, and Vintage Air climate control.
