If it came with a hemi, yeah, but i'd take iron over aluminum anyday.

Its like trading the 5.2 for a 4.7. Would you drop out your v-10 for a 4.7?

Ask duranged about 408's, or a 6.7l which ever you prefer to call it.

Bigger doesn't always mean better. TECHNICALLY speaking I have a 360 my dad has a 345. And nothing beats that hemi second gear chirp that my dad has.

Your 360 will chirp into second with a shift kit or tune. I prefer the 360, I have towed with a hemi in a 3/4 ton, and done some 0-80 runs. I will agree it is faster, but for having an extra 100hp more than the 360 it doesn't feel like it, just my personal opinion and preference. A 408 will, if done correctly, have more hp and a lot more torque, depends on the setup and tuning.

Well your also going to get better fuel mileage for fuel used especally if you go a HEMI over a stroker 408.

Would you drop out your v-10 for a 4.7?
Oh hell no!

Yeah, probably be like 2mpg lol. oh well thats fine if he is will to pay $4 a gallon to fill every day I used to get 16mpg highway until I put on the duratracs, now 14.5. My uncle has a 3/4 ton mega cab. He never gets above 15 highway. He usually averages 12mpg highway and 8 city. Although he has 285 tires instead of 265.
