Jeep PowerTech 4.7 H.O. specs: 287 ci (4.7L) 8-cylinder, 3.661 x 3.405 in (93 x 86.5 mm) bore and stroke. Rated 260-265 hp, 2002–2004.
The Jeep PowerTech 4.7 H.O. is oversquare — the 3.6614" bore exceeds the 3.4055" stroke by 7.5% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.4055" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,050 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 35.9 ci (588 cc).
It is one of 5 engines in the PowerTech family, the largest at 287 ci. 3 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 260 to 265 hp across 2002–2004.
