Walmart Now Selling Jeep Motors

Walmart Jumps Into the Engine Business With a 4.7-Liter Baja Stroker

Have you been keeping track of everything that’s going on in the retail world? Then you know traditional brick and mortar stores are quickly falling victim to our growing obsession with shopping online.

You name it — clothes, homes, and of course, automobiles are all available for purchase online. Practically every kind of item you can think of is now available for purchase through a website. Sometimes at retail outlets you typically wouldn’t expect to offer the kind of things they are selling online. Take, for example, Walmart, which is currently selling a 4.7-liter Jeep motor on its website.

Yep, the popular everything-store now sells a lot more than oil and batteries for your vehicle.

Surprised? Well, so were we. Then we clicked on the Walmart link and saw the 270-horsepower engine. It fits in a host of Jeeps, including late-1990s and early-2000s Jeep Wranglers, Cherokees, and Grand Cherokees.

Price? A total tally of $4,962.48, which includes free shipping. But it does appear that Walmart’s stock for the 4.7L Baja Stroker might be fairly limited. At last check, there was only one left!

Perhaps a lot of Jeep owners have gotten wind of the engines for sale, and have been scrambling to buy up as many as they can.
