I thought the 91-94 4.0 OHV is only 160 HP stock.....

I may be incorrect but that is what I remember.

Kyle is right. Actually, the 91 had only 155 HP and it was uprgraded to 160 HP in 92, and remains that today for the OHV 4.0 V6. The torque figure is 220 ft/lbs.

The motor was designed in Germany and is rather high tech, complete with roller cam and lifters and a mass air metering system. The lower end of the motor has proved to be very sturdy and longlasting, with the main weakness being the carryover head design from the Ford 2.9 V6. The heads are prone to cracking in high mileage examples, due to weak fortification between valve and surrounding head material. This will be noticed initially by discovery of coolant consumption, resulting from coolant passing through the head crack into the combustion chamber to be burned along with the fuel. I know this first hand because at about 150,000 miles, my motor started to consume coolant. It has remained steady at about a quart per 1500 miles to the present ododmeter reading of 215,000 miles.
