There are three major variants of this basic design. The smaller 3.3 L and 3.8 L are pushrod engines, while the 3.5 L, 3.2 L, and 4.0 L are overhead cam. Additionally, a 2.7 L DOHC version is also produced. Chrysler continues to produce the 3.5 L and 3.2 L versions of this engine along with the 2.7 L LH V6. This line is expanded further for 2006 with the addition of the 4.0 L engine debuting in the Dodge Nitro.

OHV

Main article: Chrysler 3.3 engine

The original 3.3 engine, as well as the larger 3.8 L variant, are traditional pushrod engines. The 3.3 was introduced in 1990 and was joined in 1991 by the 3.8. Both remain in production today in Trenton, Michigan, and both use a cast iron block and aluminum heads.

SOHC

A single overhead camshaft was a major addition to the lineup for 1993. Introduced with the 3.5 L engine, this basic design spawned the DOHC 2.7 L Chrysler LH engine as well as the 3.2 L and new 4.0 L variants. All but the 2.7 and high-output 3.5 are produced at Trenton Engine in Trenton, Michigan. Overhead cam (OHC) piston engines place the camshaft above the cylinder heads and drive the valves or lifters directly instead of using pushrods. ... 1993 (MCMXCIII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and marked the Beginning of the International Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1993-2003). ...

Trenton is a city located in Wayne County, Michigan. ...

The SOHC engine uses an engine block that is very similar to its pushrod ancestors. But the front of the block was modified for the camshaft drive, and the heads are entirely different. One major change was that the SOHC engine was originally designed for the longitudinal placement of the Chrysler LH platform, rather than the transverse engine design of the K-cars and minivans. Since the bottom end was the same, the engine could be produced on the same assembly line in Trenton as the pushrod engine. The camshaft is an apparatus used in piston engines to operate poppet valves. ... In automotive engineering, a longitudinal engine, also sometimes known as a north-south engine, is an internal combustion engine in which the crankshaft is oriented along the long axis of the vehicle, front to back. ... The LH platform was Chryslers second-most well-known automobile platform after the Chrysler K platform of the 1980s. ...

3.5

This 3.5 L (3518 cc) engine is a bored-out (to 96 mm) version of the 3.3, but with the important addition of overhead cams. The 3.5 L version has an odd intake arrangement with two separate manifolds and throttle bodies connected with a crossover valve. This provides better low- and midrange torque. Another notable feature is that the four valves per cylinder are driven by a single overhead camshaft as opposed to the conventional DOHC arrangement for multivalve engines. Overhead cam (OHC) piston engines place the camshaft above the cylinder heads and drive the valves or lifters directly instead of using pushrods. ... Single overhead cam (also SOHC) refers to the internal combustion engine design where one camshaft is located above the valves. ... A double overhead cam (also called a dual overhead cam, DOHC, or twincam) engine is a type of internal combustion engine where the camshafts that operate the intake and exhaust valves are mounted above the cylinders, and where there are separate camshafts for inlet and exhaust valves. ... In automotive engineering, an engine is referred to as multi-valve (or multivalve) when it has more than two valves. ...

The 3.5 was redone in aluminum in 1999 as the EGJ. This engine was also modified for longitudinal placement in rear wheel drive vehicles, first for the Prowler and later for the LX cars. At the debut in 1993, this engine produced 214 hp (160 kW) and 221 ft.lbf (300 Nm). Output as of 2004 is 234 hp (174 kW) at 6000 rpm with 241 ft.lbf (327 Nm) of torque at 4400 RPM. The EGJ is built in Trenton, MI. 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...

3.2

The 3.2 L version came along with the updated LH platform in 1998. It is an SOHC 4-valve design displacing 3.2 L (3231 cc/197 in³) with a smaller 92 mm (3.6 in) bore but the same 81 mm (3.2 in) stroke as the 3.5. It produces 225 hp (168 kW) and 225 ft·lbf (305 N·m) and meets the TLEV standard. 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...
