The LH engine was a series of V6 engines developed by Chrysler Corporation for its LH platform cars. It is a 60-degree V6 designed for front-wheel drive applications, later adapted to rear-wheel drive ones. The LH engine is based on the SOHC 3.5 L engine, though bore spacing, cylinder bore, stroke, and assembly site are different.
The 2.7 L (2736 cc) EER version debuted in 1998 and is built in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It is a DOHC 4-valve design. Bore is 86 mm and stroke is 78.5 mm. It is an aluminum block with cast-iron cylinder liners and aluminum heads. Output is 200 hp (149 kW) at 5800 rpm with 190 ft·lbf (258 N·m) of torque at 4850 rpm and it is a TLEV engine. The engine was affected by an oil sludge problem and premature timing chain tensioner failure, which were fixed by 2002.
