I don't think the 2.7L will be an issue for power. I had a 2017 F150 Supercrew 4X4 with the 2.7 and a Livernois tune. Thing was never lacking for power.Yes, frankly I don’t believe the Wrangler 396 will happen, and if it does I’m going to cautiously watch to see how many D44s get exploded. If they actually make it, and get it right, I will definitely get one, it’s a dream come true for the off-road world. The power is right, gets the axles right and I’m sold.
If not, then the 7.3 or even 5.0L would be a good swap for the Bronco, it would actually drive and sound like a truck we all want.
Frankly if / when FCA puts the 396 in the Wrangler, Ford has another option, with the 3.0L TT from the Explorer ST and Lincoln Aviator. Power to weight ratio was mentioned, and a 3.0 V-6 TT instead of a 6.4 L V-8 with roughly the same power would be my choice. (except for the sound)
We have both an ST and an Aviator. I had a Livernois tune on the ST for about 2 months. I took it off, because honestly it was too rough unless in I was in ECO mode. In Sport, the ST was A LOT of fun, but for how I drive it, it's basically not what I need anymore. Just my $0.02...
