Best Answer

Look at your VIN ( 17 digits on a sticker on the end of the drivers door or on a metal

plate on top of the dash , on the drivers side , which can be viewed from the outside

by looking thru the base of the windshield )

The 8th " character " of the VIN is the engine model

" E " is the 4.0 liter - SOHC - V6 engine

" X " is the 4.0 liter - OHV - V6 engine

" P " is the 5.0 liter - V8 engine ( which is also an over head valve design )
