Aren't the newest Wranglers getting the new 300ish hp Pentastar v6 though? I thought I read that but I'm not sure.

There have been a million engine rumors since they came out with the JK. Until it hits a showroom, I don't believe it. Not that I have the money but a lot of people have been doing Hemi swaps and lately LS swap popularity is growing.
