  • Our 1993 Jeep Cherokee Sport needed its tired engine rebuilt, so we figured why not give it a decent upgrade while we're at it? Of course, we wouldn't miss the opportunity to shoot time-lapse video of every step along the way and hit you with another amazing addition to our Redline Rebuild series! With help from our friends at RockAuto.com, we source a crankshaft and pistons from a different Jeep engine (4.2L) and stroke this XJ's legendary 4.0L straight-6 AMC engine to a slightly more powerful and torquey 4.6L.

    The jeep Cherokee is one of the greatest cars ever produced. I own an 89’ limited 4.0L and it’ll probably get me another 300,000 miles. Such a pleasure to drive, sticks to the road like glue and can make it over almost anything I put infront of it. Love cherokees so much.

      those 4.0L jeep engines have their roots in the AMC 199 that was first used by Rambler in 1964. obviously certain revisions have been done, but the main architecture is the same. Which is why he was able to use a 258 crank. The Chrysler slant 6, the Ford 300, the Chevy stove bolt, and the AMC 258/jeep 4.0 are all amazingly durable and effective.
