4.7 vs 5.7 hemi
#31
RE: 4.7 vs 5.7 hemi
i got a 4.7 and i am very happy with it, it does get any job i need done, mind you u are not going to be running a higher octain fuel, so cheaper on gas, not to mention a little better mpg,
plus the 4.7 is proven and very reliable, i have heard of some issues with the hemi
depends on what your doing too, i dont haul more than 6k, and my truck does great with that,

your are a doushbag. The 4.7 is not the hemi.

Hemi man, my personal opinion would be to go with the hemi so you have the extra power. My dad does have a 4.7 in a rcsb and it has lots of power. He also has the six speed. I rule the hemi out for myself and the 4.7 because I want great power and a stick shift with good mpg therefore I went diesel. I really wish dodge would make a six speed for the hemi in a 1500 that way I could get the 5.7 six speed and rcsb 4x4 (dream truck for me right there)

I've towed a few cars on a heavy 4 wheel trailer with this 4.7 Dakota and can tell you that it felt effortless. The pics above is a car I towed for 8 hrs from Virginia to Atlanta and it almost felt like there was nothing back there. I'm sure the Hemi would make short work of it, but I had zero issues. Ran with O/D off, of course. As I approach 270K, I can say without a doubt this engine is very reliable and smooth.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. I did read the whole thread. Is the 5.7 "non-HEMI" block identical to the 4.7 block? I am removing my 4.7 for a rebuild. I wonder if I could swap out the block and heads. Are the sensors and wiring similar to the 5.7?
