Jeep ESG specs: 392 ci (6.4L) 8-cylinder, 4.091 x 3.72 in (103.9 x 94.5 mm) bore and stroke, 10.9:1 compression. Rated 470-475 hp, 2014–2021.
The Jeep HEMI (ESG) is oversquare — the 4.0906" bore exceeds the 3.7205" stroke by 9.9% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.7205" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,450 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 49.0 ci (803 cc).
10.9:1 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 largest at 392 ci. 8 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 470 to 475 hp across 2014–2021.
