I'd trust the engine implicitly, though, because its based on the 3.5L
engine architecture. Very solid engine with a GREAT history behind it.
The 4.0 is just a slight enlargement to boost low-RPM torque over the
3.5 for better performance in big vehicles like the minivans and
Pacifica, the horsepower rating is basically unchanged vs the 3.5 HO.
