This performance book serves as a comprehensive guide for enthusiasts interested in enhancing their Jeep engines, from achieving mild performance gains to constructing highly competitive racing vehicles. It is designed to complement the official service manual for your specific vehicle and engine. The primary focus is on modifying and increasing the performance of the 4.0L Power Tech In-Line 6 cylinder, 4.2L In-Line 6 cylinder, 2.5L Power Tech In-Line 4 cylinder, and 360 AMC V-8 engines. The 2.46L In-Line 4 cylinder engine is also covered, albeit briefly due to limited performance parts availability. Additionally, a special chapter highlights the new all-aluminum 4.7L V-8 engine introduced in 1999, which is poised to be a significant part of future Jeep performance parts programs.
This manual builds upon the foundational information found in service manuals, which detail engine disassembly and reassembly. While service manuals provide the basics of repair, this book delves into the specifics of engine modification and performance enhancement. For complete information on Magnum V-10, V-8, V-6, and 4-cylinder engines, refer to the dedicated Magnum Engines publication. Mopar Performance Parts strongly recommends obtaining the proper service manual for your vehicle and/or engine to avoid potential issues and ensure optimal results.
Welcome to Jeep Engines-3rd Edition.
This performance book has been prepared as a guide for
those enthusiasts who are interested in everything from
mild performance gains to building highly competitive
racing vehicles and is intended to compliment the service
manual for your particular vehicle and/or engine.
Therefore, to avoid any possible problems and/or

This performance book builds on the service manual

its performance. If you find that you need further assistance
or have any performance and/or modification questions you
would like to ask, you can contact Mopar Performance
Parts Technical Assistance.
The primary emphasis of this book is on the 4.0L Power
Tech In-Line 6 cylinder engine, the 4.2L In-Line 6 cylinder
engine, the 2.5L Power Tech In-Line 4 cylinder engine, and
the 360 AMC V-8 engine. The 2.46L In-Line 4 cylinder
engine is also covered, but because of the limited number
of performance parts available, it is discussed only briefly.
We have also included a special chapter which highlights
our new all-aluminum 4.7L V-8 engine that debuted in
1999. This new engine is certain to play an important role
in our future Jeep performance parts program. Magnum
engines have their own book; therefore, they are not
covered in this book.
Note: For complete Magnum V-10, V-8, V-6, and 4-
cylinder engine information, refer to Magnum Engines
(P4876668), as well as the appropriate service manual.
