Ah, the Iaccoca years, when two platforms formed the basis of an entire car line, and a new engine could always be created from an old one. Need a V-6? Chop off two cylinders from the venerable 318 - itself a modified 273! Thus, the 3.9, with a 3.91" bore, a close relative of our friend the 318 - with the same bore and stroke.
The 3.9 was designed to replace the slant six in work-vehicles and gas misers. While the slant six was a great motor, the 3.9 had similar power and slightly less torque, but equal or better gas mileage; it was reputedly cheaper to build, and a more modern design.
"Though the 318's performance came between the GM 305 and 350, it never seemed to have the oil-burning and smoke-producing qualities of those engines. Like the slant six, the 318 has shown itself capable of great abuse at the hands of those non-oil-or-air-filter-changing folk who so often end up behind the wheels of Mopar cars and light trucks."
That explains it all right there, 3.9/5.2/5.9.

"1987 - 3.9 is developed from 360"
What..?? I thought the 3.9 originated off the 318, by just chopping off two cyl?
Either way its a damn good motor that has shown its self capable of great abuse at the hands of those floor stomping mopar maniacs.
