Well, you most definitely do NOT want the 3.4 timebomb.


or the similar Ford engines. There is also a Chrysler
3.7L engine in the Jeep Liberty, which should have enough service history

to
make an evaluation.


The 3.7 is likely a future candidate. So far it's got a decent
reputation.


Thanks, I'll keep watching as I get closer to actually undertaking the
project.


Peter, check the Allpar site in the engines section to get straight
what the various Chrysler families are. The 3.3 pushrod begat a 3.5
and a 3.8. (These are Trenton, MI built)

The 2.7 begat a 3.2. There's also a V6 derived from a 318 cid V-8
(3.7?). And then there's the new stuff!

I've been out of touch for so long now I can't keep them straight.
