Yes, we're talking 650 horsepower from a Ford Cleveland engine in a Jeep Commando! If you're thinking this is stupid, you're right; in Roadkill style, we're putting great parts on questionable cars in the hunt for massive burnouts, fast quarter-mile times, big wheelies, and--this time--ridiculously overpowered action in the sand and dirt drags. The Clevo Commando will take months to finish, but we're kicking off the project on this episode that gives you a gander at the weirdo Jeep as we hack the sheetmetal to clear big Bogger tires, then give you the buildup recipe for a 406ci Cleveland that proves its power with bigger numbers on the dyno than even expected, even from guest-star Steve Brule of Engine Masters. Stay tuned for a future episode where we wrap it all up.
