4.7 compared to 5.2

I had a reg. cab dakota 4.7l 5 speed 3.55 gear. great truck, no issues with the motor at all, also put mobil 1 in it after break in. good motor. I like the small block wedge but stock to stock even the r/t dak with the 360 could not hang with me. Being a 287 cube motor it winds great but runs outta breath top end. I have heard others complain about it though. 318 or 360 would be better for an HI-PO build and easier, or for a torquey tow engine, still that was a fun little truck.
