So, yeah, I'm new here and was searching around, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

First of all, I don't think I have an HO motor, however, I found a couple threads which had it stated that with a QC and 4x4 you automatically get it. Others say that if the intake says it, however i've only seen Jeeps that say it on top. I also saw a thread that said the head will say HO on them, but where on the heads? Behind the PS pump or what? Kinda hard to find, and it's raining out today. Either way, the HP jump from the cams and computer seem to be unreal for what Dodge states.

Also, I'm going to be doing some tuneups, and overall checks. What should I look out for?

Thanks guys,
Lee

 

well you should have on ur tailgate either V8 magnum or V8 high output.. that will tell you right away which you have.......

 

Look at your VIN#, if it is an H.O. the 8th position will be a 'J', for a regular 4.7 it will be 'N'.

 

would be surprised to have a 05 HO. They only made a few HO in 05. They where very late in the model year and very hard to find. The VIN is the real way to know.

 

Thanks guys, says magnum on the back, but it's super early here so i'll check the vin later.
As for things to check over, it looks like the balljoints and sway bar ends have been replaced. I'm probably going to get myself some spark plugs (3923's as i've read here) and change those out, and I'm probably going to make up a CAI with leftover mustang stuff. I have 2 mustangs in my garage, one with a turbo, but i'm swapping the motor into a 66 coupe, so i have a lot of stuff laying around.
Thanks guys!
