Hi guys,

I was wondering ... what is the way to identify the engine by looking at it when you pop up the hood. I bought a used dakota 2000 (which should be a 4.7) but my father thinks that my engine could have been swapped in the past.

So how can I identify the engine by looking at it under the hood?

Thanks!

 

4.7 will have a plastic intake manifold with the TB facing forward. 5.2/5.9 have the "kegger" intake (looks like half a keg) with the TB on top. Not really sure how to tell the 5.2 and 5.9 apart, they look the same.

 

2.5 ???

 

Fixed... Had a dyslexic moment....

 

There's no distributor on the 4.7 either. Has COP's.

 

Yep. Forgot that.
