I like the 318's i really do..my step dad's got a nasty jeep cherokee (orvis edition) with a 5.2 and it flys down the road pretty darn quick. but i'm voting for the 360..minus the plenum gasket problems on both motors..either one is great..but preferrably the 360
daily driver 5.2. fast truck 5.9( ctd LOL) no both are great motors I just like my 5.2 mpg I had a 5.9 for about a month little more power when you get in it but just daily driving it just sucking more gas
And in my mind the 3.9 v6 was the standard motor 5.2 was the middle of the road choice
