Hey guys, I have a 98 Grand Cherokee with the 5.9 (360ci) engine and my head gasket is gone. So I thought about doing something to the heads since I need to pull them.
So does anyone know anything about these engines or does anyone know anywhere to learn about these engines?
And also, I thought about changing the cam also, is it a long job to pull it out of the block? And anyone know of replacements?
I really don’t know shit about american cars, I just know imports and Nissans. lol
Thanks!!!
research.
a v8 is no different than a L4. they have cams, chain/belt, heads, bottom end etc etc
3-angle valve job, chop the head…cam whatever you want
It’s a pushrod, there are no cams in the head. But thanks.
i beleive these engines respond well to porting and a set of headers. a cam is always a good option with any V8. but i do know that these engines are dam strong and a blower unleash the gates of hell - literaly.
also be prepared for what little gas mileage you fly out the window.
peace
lol, yeah, good mileage isn’t really my priority, I use around 28-30 liters per 100km (8mpg) in the city and 100% highway is 12-15 (16-19mpg) depending on the speed. lol
Anyways, thanks for the answer. Do you know any forums with info specifically for this engine?
there are tons of v8’s with cams in the head.
wtf is wrong with people. you ask for advice, you get it…then shit on people.
i’m sorry! HEADS!!! plural. don’t wanna get bashed again.
SON is getting very childish very quickly.
The Mopar 360 is a very popular motor, they’ve been using the 360 forever.
I wouldnt fuck with it too much, do an Intake and exhaust and leave the rest stock and reliable.
Sasha from SG-Motorsport had the same motor in his old jeep if you need to ask him anything.
but in all seriousness. mild port and polish. a good set of hedders and a mild cam and you’ll have a very good set-up.
5.2l is the same as the 5.9l
6.8L V10 cams IN heads!!!
I don’t care if every V8 in the world has cams in the head, I’m asking about the 360 Magnum and it doesn’t have cams in the head, what do I care about cams in the head? lol
Anyways, thanks for the diagram.
Thanks spilner, maybe Sasha will see this thread. lol

before you do anything major to the engine be aware you will have to flash the ecu or it will never run right. just quoting my chrystler buddy who happens to be here.
