Chrysler PowerTech engine
The 4.7-liter version was the first of this family, appearing in the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has a cast iron block and aluminum heads with two valves per cylinder. It uses a chain-driven overhead camshaft which produces 235 hp and 295 lb ft of torque. The combination of an iron block and aluminum head produces more hp & torque including faster throttle response generated from the overhead cam. However, if not maintained properly, this engine is susceptable to major internal damage. You can’t beat the hp & torque although it is not as forgiving as the previous 5.2 & 5.9 V8 engines which were solid cast iron allowing much more abuse.
The PowerTech was on the Ward’s 10 Best Engines list for 1999.
