Chrysler Mitsubishi G54B 2.6 MCA-Jet specs: 156 ci (2.6L) 4-cylinder, 3.587 x 3.858 in (91.1 x 98 mm) bore and stroke, 8.2:1 compression. Rated 93 hp.
The Chrysler Mitsubishi G54B 2.6 MCA-Jet is undersquare — the 3.8583" stroke exceeds the 3.5866" bore by 7.0% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.8583" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,200 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 39.0 ci (639 cc).
8.2:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
