Coughing up blood is the spitting up of blood or bloody mucus from the lungs and throat (respiratory tract).
There aren't many V-6 options in the class, and the Cherokee surpasses the Chevy with a more fun-to-drive experience; it's neck and neck with the Escape's sprightly, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. All-wheel-drive versions of the V-6 Cherokee are rated at 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined.
Kaiser also turned to AMC for its 327 V-8. (Do not confuse with the Chevrolet engine of similar displacement and bore/stroke sizing.) A robust 327 V-8 gave the 1965-68 Jeep Wagoneer and J-trucks a respectable power option to the 232 inline six. In 1971, AMC introduced the 258 version of its inline six.
