depends on the year and all these specifics but late model cherokees were 190 to 193 or 195 depending on if it was the police package, updated intake and swapped to coil packs instead of a dizzy. Wikipedia has good info on it
i am familiar with stock ratings i am asking how far i can push stock internals before requiring upgraded cam, crank, ect and once needed if anyone knows a good place to get the upgraded internals?

This is my rebuilt block, bored thirty over with all of the bolt ons you see in my signature.
This is obviously to the wheels. The numbers you are seeing above are from the crank. I have heard in different places that to the wheels stock with a few miles can go as low as 90 hp.
