I drove a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 and was very impressed with
it's power. The only reason I would choose a 5.9 over the 4.7 would be
because of the amount of performance parts available for the already-proven
motor. And I believe the 5.9 although equal to performance to the 4.7 stock,
has alot more potential when it comes to performance mods.
