Is anyone running a 4.7L???
I love the 4.7 in my Dakota. Great power great mileage awesome sound, smooth, fun, reliable. What's not to like? I would transplant one into a an older Mopar in a heartbeat if I could find one for virtually free. In fact I have a recipe to build one into a 306 cube offset ground steel crank, custom pistons, custom camshafts and IR induction. I'm fairly certain close to 500HP could be had somewhere near 8000rpm. You do know they are pretty much a hemi headed design right? I think a 5.0L OHC cammer like this at 8000rpm would sound bad ***! But keeping it simple and getting the 5.7 Hemi just makes more sense. J.Rob
