There is 2 different motors, the 03-04, and the 04.5 - 05, then there is the 06-07.

the 04.5 and up motor is called the 600 or 600 series.

The 04 has a option for the ho motor which will produce 325 hp and 610 tq and the other is like 20 or so shy of those numbers. otherwise pretty much same.

04.5 + 05 offered a 325 hp motor as jimmy said, but anything before 04.5 would have the 305 hp motor.
