Great video. 2 bolt mains are kind of strange... turbo is TINY. only 2 cylinder head exhaust ports on a l6 is also weird.

I had similar thoughts......
No cross bolts tying the main caps to the bolt seemed odd but really drives how important that windage tray/gridle is.
Headers built into the head and combine to only a two port exit, wow! Can't wait to see the cross section of a cut up head to see this layout.

Yep... I see cylinder head porters rubbing their hands together in happiness right now.

I am just going to point out the irony that your footer pic is a $45k jeep.

Typically you can mod a car much cheaper than what the factory options cost, also ironically and make it "your own". To turn any other Jeep into a Rubicon will cost a whole lot more than the sticker difference. Dana 44 front a rear axles with lockers, the 2 inch higher fenders, wider stance, bigger brakes, taller tires and the ability to run a 35" tire without necessitating my later have to purchase a lift to do so is a savings of about 60%... I actually did a spreadsheet before I made the purchase. The only thing that the Z51 adds that would be near impossible for me to duplicate is the magnetic ride shocks. And as I've said, I would rather not have that system. I needed the Jeep to be ready for action right out of the box, as more job necessitates that I have an extreme off road capable vehicle.
My previous comments are more to do with any future "fun cars" that I might buy and have time to stick it in the garage for a week or two while I wrench on it. the Jeep is my DD.
