Project prowler Srt-8 6.1 V8 story and blog I have been a proud prowler owner for over 10 years. I absolutely love the car it's style, the thumbs up and overall design. To this day there isn't another car that I see that looks so good and is so unique.
I added gears, intake, headers and still always wanted a bit more. NJ racing videos grand meadows And even did a road course track day at Englishtown raceway in NJ. The biggest moment was a dyno day in flordia with a car club everyone was so excited about the prowler and even with all my mods only scored 196 hp to the wheels which I felt a bit down vs the other cars everyday cars pushing closer to 300hp, Since this time started exploring all options to put power into the Kat from Twin turbos, to superchargers to 4.2 strokers to the dream 5.0. I had a chance to ride with Ed in FL and it changed my view of Prowler power for ever. Then After many years of review decided to go with the second big boy hemi 6.1 srt V8 conversion with performance innovations. See the details of number 1 here
There is no replacement for displacement the Srt-8 packs In the words of one of favorite shows growing up! Autobots transform!! Let the story begin This message has been edited by treyb on 12-03-2011 at 03:01 PM |

Oct 2011 Just after a few weeks of talking to Brendan from performance innovations out of NC and hearing his passion for the project got on uship.com and scheduled a private hailer to take the Kat from NJ to NC for a long winters nap. There a thing about trust and taking risk is always there especially when you love your car, it being a low production vehicle,think its special, always had your car with you close by and doing a very customized project. But after talking with so many different people (fellow owners , shops, mechanics, reading articles posts, etc and hearing his personal experience with tons of other and jeep conversions, custom projects, prowler # 1and getting the Trans, electronics and motor in right it was a done deal and decided to pull the trigger. Car arrives project srt underway Quote From perf innovations shop blog: Last picture the car in its current form Car goes up for inspection and project kick off and prep The 3.5 v6 engine before This message has been edited by treyb on 11-10-2011 at 08:35 AM |

Mid Nov 2011 updates New 6,1 crate hemi engine arrives thanks to the chrysler SRT team for such a great engine! Just looks a bit different that the 3.5!! :-) Mean!! Prowler V6 is now removed and perf innovations is prepping the car for fitting and getting her ready A number of parts went up for sale, looks like a number of key items will be headed to Texas and possibly over seas to fellow owners in the UK and Australia.

When is the new baby due? Keep us updated on the progress. You won't be able to wait for Spring to get here once that baby is completed. |

No rush spring is target still have the 69 Camaro to play with when it's nice. 2 more initial benchmark videos. This is me in the 3.5 V6 prowler with performance gears vs 2 different v-8 6.1 hemi srt-8 Cars. In both cases with the prowlers low weight and aluminum build makes the car 1400 lbs lighter than its peers. Off the line the and short distance prowler can keep up with most cars. Imagine the same 6.1 srt-8 motor in the Prowler vs Srt 1/8 mile racing Videos at homestead speedway in miami Prowler Vs challenger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-aiLiSts_s Prowler vs 300 SRT click links above to view This message has been edited by treyb on 09-15-2013 at 10:13 AM |

Very cool story Trey, and a great write-up. I'm very interested in this, as I have about run out of things to do to my Cat. I'm almost 138,000 miles on the car, and pushing 55,000 on the 5.0. When the time is right I'll have a new paint job put on it. At that time I'll look at what else I need to do for the next 100,000 miles. I like the idea of a possible hemi in it one day. Keep us in the loop with your extensive descriptions and pictures. Again, you owe me a ride! Can't wait. Great project Trey... ------------------ |

I personally don't have that need for speed but can appreciate your interest in being a true hot rod enthusiast. Good luck on your project and don't always lift the hood and tell them is is a hot V6. |

quote: From what I understand The hemi motor weighs about 80lbs more than the v6. That's like having a young person on the front seat and should operate just fine with the stock suspension. |

quote: That's sounds about right as I was told several years ago the weight difference between a Hemi and the stock Prowler V6 with a supercharger kit was less than 20 pounds. |

spanish prowler, what is the problem with your PM? I have had problems in the past and usually if you update your browser to the latest one it should fix it. If you are only running one browser try another one. I run about 4 on my computer and every now and then I can't get one to do it's job so I open the webpage in another one. I am currently running Safari 5.1.1 (7534.51.22) you can download it here. |

Hey Trey! Do you have an estimated completion date for your Cat? |

No real rush lets say it's a winter project. They are all already doing engine drop in's and fittings On the hemi. Will continue to post updates at key milestones. Also planning on a good amount of road and possible track testing locally in NC before bringing it back north. Still have the 69 Camaro if we get a nice day and need to play around. |

Trey the people doing this, have they done any other Prowlers? Talked to others that have? Think they can take care of the issues that others have? Are they modifiying Transaxle? This is a mod I would like to have done, maybe someday. ------------------ |

Larry yes to all of the above. They started by doing a good number of hemi jeep conversions, completed another 6.1 srt prowler and have also supplied trans and related parts for other 5.7 prowler conversions done at some other shops. Brendon is pretty knowledable it takes alot of work, time and experience to convert a prowler (electronics, engine, trans and everything else. Here a website link and prowler #1 feel free to shoot me a pm or give the shop a ring.
