it has the 4.0L. it also has the crysler 8.25 axle. you gotta be careful with that though. someone told me on here that mid 96 and newer used the chrysler 8.25 axle which is not true. ONLY the xj's that DID NOT have antilock brakes used the chrysler 8.25 axle. the ones that had ABS still used the dana 35.
