Jeep 5.7 Hemi specs: 345 ci (5.7L) 8-cylinder, 3.917 x 3.579 in (99.5 x 90.9 mm) bore and stroke, 9.6:1 compression. Rated 330 hp, 2006–2008.
The Jeep 5.7 Hemi is oversquare — the 3.9173" bore exceeds the 3.5787" stroke by 9.5% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.5787" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,700 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 43.1 ci (707 cc).
9.6:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
It is one of 10 engines in the HEMI family, the smallest at 345 ci. 3 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 330 hp across 2006–2008.
