I'm looking at buying a Grand Cherokee. The ad says it's a v8 Laredo. I asked the guy by email if it is the original engine and he said it is. The ad was in Spanish and I don't speak it so there is a little barrier there. I'm posting a pic of the engine. thoughts are appreciated.

 

1996 btw.

 

yup. Thats a 5.2 v8. fairly common (also known as a 318)

 

Yep, the 5.2 v8.

Curious why the hell he converted to a cone filter but left half the air box.

 

So this is a Limited then?

 

I don't recall if you could get the v8 in a Laredo or not, but it's def the 5.2 v8.

 

You could get the 5.2 in the Laredo but that is for sure the 5.2 V8
