<< Speaking of which, why is it that the 2000s have the same ol' "V8
Magnum" badge as the older trucks? A cost cutting measure? Is there a
large surplus of badges? I thought the new V8 was supposed to be branded a
Powertech. Whatever it is, its not a Magnum, and its just as inaccurate to
call it a HEMI.

You are right in a sense, all OHC engines have the same, somewhat
hemispherical design, be it more or less, but only Chrysler has the right to
call it a hemi. If the 4.7 is a hemi, then you could call the 3.5 V6 a hemi
too. The 5.7 pushrod engine should be more similar to the traditional hemi
design.
Hell, the 4.7 is just an awesome engine. Cant wait to see the tricked out
version!
