"The Crossfire sold pretty briskly — at just under $40 grand a pop — in 2003 and 2004, peaking in its first year at around 36,000 units, but sales fell off so sharply that by 2006, you could get one on Overstock.com for less than an espresso machine. And that's only partly a joke — they were offered on the big O for $8,900 off MSRP."

Anything can be done the question is if it's worth it. 330hp crossfire swap in a prowler nope. A Hemi can be done since the prowler computer and the early Hemi ones can talk to each other. But it's still not perfect

But here's proof of the crazy things people do but in each case it's takes someone bold enough to roll the dice . We may say why but this guy had passion too.
I share different engine swaps on the www.facebook.com/Hemiprowler site on creative things people have done. He goes today's

I went to a car show a few weeks ago and saw this. This v8 is actually 2 Chevy cavalier motors. The one up front (front wheel drive) and then he put another one in the truck. Yes he can turn on 2 different motors and they are independent. Crazy!

Is the engine available with manual transmission ? That would be the computer to use. Security would be the next issue.

In Prowler - Hemi conversions the "hemi" computer does NOT talk to the prowler system. One of the challenges is to make the Hemi run without all the other systems that are in the "donor" vehicle.

By now, doesn't Chrysler have some V-6 variant that IS a "plug and play" swap, with a meaningful HP increase? It seems like they're getting a lot of power out of the newer V-6's.

Hypothetically, if one had a Prowler with a blown engine, are there no newer motors to swap to pick up a bit more HP? Maybe not worth tearing out a working engine for 70 HP, but if you've got to replace it anyway, I wouldn't sneeze at that kind of power boost.

So, question is, is any V-6 "crate motor" in the Mopar catalogue that is "plug and play" for the Prowler, or does it still result in all of the same engine/tranny communication issues as a V-8 transplant?

I don't know for sure but I would say no. You would be money ahead to wake up the Prowler V6 instead of trying to install another one and go through all the pains just like the V8 HEMI conversion. No matter which way you go it will take all your $$.
