Welcome to the Cherokee Forum!

Your 87 is going to have whats called a Renix 4.0l. The HO started in 91 and is pretty much a re-badge from when Chrysler took over production of the 4.0. The HO is rated at 1 ft. lb. of torque and 13 hp over your Renix. Do a google search for Jeep XJ and you'll get a bunch of info - first piece of advise to every newbie, always search first.

 

Also try the internet. It will explain it all.

Besides that welcome to the site.

 

You'll have to forgive us but with a question that common people tend to just tell you to search instead of just answering.

Not a big difference, don't concern yourself that its not HO.

Welcome to the site.

 

ah haha you all have a sense of humor on this site ...i like it.

nah i google'd it and it just told me that it gave it more hp...granite i kinda got fed up with the crappy internet so i thought id just ask. ive been poking around on here and i am so stoked to get started on my ride when i get back to the states, ive gotten so many ideas and good tips just by reading whats already out there. Thanks!

 

This may help.
