Is there such a thing besides the new SRT8?
Is there such a thing besides the new SRT8?
with enough money........ even old 4cyl Fox Bodies can be fast!
i dunno, they came with the 5.9, not a bad motor.....

You can make them fast......The new hemi cherokees are pretty quick.......
We just got an 04 Overland Grand cherokee. It has a H.O. 4.7 and awd. As fast as a new hemi jeep but not the srt jeep. Beats a suprising amount of cars. Maybe a 14.9???

Ummm I doubt the 4.7L HO V8 Grand Runs a 14.9... I.M.O. I could be wrong though... I do know they have some up and go though... If I remember right the '05/'06 still comes with the 4.7L, and the Hemi is the bigger motor...

My dad's non-HO went 15.3@88ish....so I don't doubt a 14.9 is possible out of the HO engine.
One of the old "Sport Trucks" of the late 80's, early 90's was a Cherokee based comanche called the "Eliminator"...equipped with the 4.0 liter I6 & 5 speed and decent gears it was as fast as most "muscle trucks" of the time...like 15.8's. There is a guy who does bracket racing at GLD who last I saw was low 13's with his comanche.
There's also quite a bit you could do, with one...like take a 4.0, put in an old 4.2 crank and rods (with the 4.0 pistons) and come out with 4.6ish liters...mill and port the heads, throw some headers on, get a hotter camshaft and put some decent gears in those things, and you'd have a fun little truck. Appearently, the Hi-po ECU from mopar do pretty well adapting to the larger displacement if you add larger injectors.

i heard those new srt8 moved
2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Vortech'd Built Motor Shootin for 400whp
1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4"Suspension Lift 31x10.5
1997 Gsxr 750 130whp
I've seen a few 1998 grand cherokee limited, which had the 5.9L 360, move pretty damn good for being a jeep
97 GMC Sonoma - 5.3L - T56 forever in pieces
04 Buick Lesabre - geriatric edition
93 Yamaha FZR 600 - 1000 rear wheel swap
74 honda CB450 - cafe cruiser
Yeah, the 5.9L Limited responds well to mods from what I've heard... That would be a fun Jeep to modify...

i saw a black SRT-8 yesterday on wisconsin going down 37th. that was one bad ass sounding cherokee
the 4.7 is a stout engine, superchips has a programmer that works for it, as long as its 2003 and older, the newer ecu's compensate for the program and you have to reflash it every 500 miles or so. also gibson headers are available. the ho is just cams and an intake manifold that can be had for ~500 bucks so dont be discouraged by a non ho 4.7. my old 4.7 grand cherokee with just the HO cams and intake manifold with an intake and headers ran a 14.7. i have the same engine in my ram and am upgrading to 4.56 gears air ram air intake, gibson headers and superchips and ho cams and intake manifold, a guy with a similar intake put his 2002 ram quad cab at 14.5 his was 2wd though, not 4wd like mine
The H.O. version of the 4.7 is WAY more than 'just cams & intake' - follow the link

yeah, i know its more than that, but those are the basic 'bolt ons' that make a difference from the motor is what i was implying, sorry.
great, a cherokee noob

everyone has to start somwhere/timeOriginally Posted by theavenger333
The Cherokee (XJ) stopped being made in 2001.
I had a quick(er) 1999 model, but it had built axles, 4.88 gearing, and lots of crap strapped to the inline-6 tractor motor.
The Grand Cherokee started in 1993.
The 5.9 Limited was only made in 1998 and the weak point is the Dana 44 rear, which has an aluminum center section that is known to flex, crack, and secure a boat in the harbor.
The 4.7 HO is known as the 'baby Hemi', and is the bridge from the old tech to the new.
Not a bad motor, but a 4.7 HO Grand with stock gearing and an intake will not get out of the 15s.
