Sorry, but you aren't. I have the build sheet in front of me and its listed as EZB-5.7L V8 HEMI MDS.
Also, read this motor trend article.

Power for our tester came from Dodge's renowned 5.7-liter Hemi pushrod V-8, but the 2006 iteration now boasts improved fuel economy--14/18 versus 13/17--thanks to an integrated Multi-Displacement System, which deactivates four cylinders under light-throttle applications.
Here is another link...
