It was brought in around '96 (?) when Chrysler was trying to refine the 4.0. It was part of an NVH program (Noise, Vibration, Harshness).

As well the 1996 and up blocks have extra ribbing for better structural integrity. Which is why I am building my stroker based off one of those.

I've heard alot that the renix has a higher nickel content and is stronger. Not that I don't doubt the 96 could be better.
