Re: V-8-POWERED H3 ALPHA
I'd be affraid to test drive one I might like it
I doubt the V8 will have a 5-speed.
Maybe I can do an engine swap and add the cast iron diff to mineJ
This will be pretty nice though

Re: V-8-POWERED H3 ALPHA
In addition to the V-8 engine, the H3 Alpha also includes the popular ?Luxury? equipment package, the Chrome Appearance package, 16-inch chrome wheels, a 4.10 rear axle ratio and special Alpha identification, including a prominent tailgate badge, horn pad badge and embroidered front headrests with the ?Alpha? insignia.
For customers who want a more accessorized appearance straight from the factory, the Alpha model can be combined with the H3X content, which includes bright roof crossbows, chrome fuel door, a body-color grille and unique spare tire cover, tires, wheels and center cap, and a brush guard.
LOL they are already pushin the bling and lux

Re: V-8-POWERED H3 ALPHA
Well, I guess we lose the beloved 4.56 gear ratio but we still get the 4:1 tcase! 
I wonder if it'll have the tow/haul mode? I really like how that works.
Again, that front frame extension thing's gotta go or get painted black! It's kinda like Karl Malden painting his nose orange.

Re: V-8-POWERED H3 ALPHA
I wonder if GM (read me - hey F5 - opinion?) will offer a "swap" discount for current owners who wish to upgrade to the new engine?
Would transmission and drive train components be a must change for such a swap?

I had 5.13s front and rear in my 74 scout and a 345 V8! I had a max cruising speed of about 60mph at 4000 rpms, but I could tow your house off the foundation.

Re: V-8-POWERED H3 ALPHA
50:1 with a V8 would be pretty powerful.
The crawl ratio appears to be lower due to the 4.10:1 axle gears.
The auto tranny 1st gear is 3.06.
Meybe they will put in stronger tie rods too?
The 5-speed stick and front axle would have to be up-graded to handle a V8. The t-case should be fine.

Yeah that was a stump puller for sure. That 4 speed, and transfer case combo was bulletproof. I will buy another one someday. I love them.
