Engine identification
I was wondering if there's an potentiation number to find out what year the engine itself is. I have a 96 and supposedly the engine is from a 99. Is there anyway to tell if it truly is from a 99?

I should know this..but I forget. On the left side of the block, forward, below the manifolds? Or there might be a # on the right.
Then check it here > http://www.jeep4.0performance.4mg.com/tech_specs.html
Looks like 96 to 99 used the same block. >> 1996-99......53020569.............................48830 25

4.0 Engine date codes
The date code is on the passenger side of the engine, on the block, just forward and up from the distributor on a machined flat surface.
The digits of the code identify:
- 1st Digit-The year (8 = 1998).
- 2nd & 3rd Digits-The month (01 - 12).
- 4th & 5th Digits-The engine type/fuel system/compression ratio (MX = A 4.0 Liter (242 CID) 8.7:1 compression ratio engine with a multi-point fuel injection system).
- 6th & 7th Digits-The day of engine build (01 - 31).
