I have a 4.7 in a 12 reg cab long bed 1500 2wd. It's supposed to be a 10:1 310hp engine but sure doesn't seem like it. (That's oem stock specs for that engine and year. Hasn't been modded.
Driving that truck it sure doesn't seem that powerful. That's supposedly the highest HP engine I have ever had. It sure don't stem like it. The 360 in my 01 Durango sure seems to have more in it than this 4.7.
This is the first 4.7 I have ever had.
And I only got that because the 318/360 can't be had no more and I needed something new enough to qualify for a vehicle loan since I don't have the cash I can lay my hands on.
The horsepower doesn't mean squat in a truck or heavy street driven vehicle. It is all about torque, and the 360 has it in spades over the 4.7. If you built a 10 to 1 magnum 360 it would be an even bigger difference.
