It takes 'X' amount of gas to produce 'Y' amount of horsepower, period. There was no revolutionary change in efficiency or performance between the V8 and V10.

I've seen some units have a 460 instead of the V10. Will either pull our cherokee?

1997-1999 was first of the V10's with 275-HP and about the same performance as the last of the 460's. Some of those engines had problems with spark plug threads. At least some of that trouble seems to have been from improper mechanics. E4OD was modified all so slightly and named 4R100.
2000 and later V10's went to 305-HP with "Performance Improved" heads that also addressed the spark plug issue.

J-d,
Thank you so much for the info. I printed it out so I can keep referring to it when searching. So then a 97 460 wouldn't be all that bad from the sounds of it. And I'll make sure it has the 4 speed with OD regardless of engine. Just in case we actually get to a flat area in the road. lol
