There was an interview with the chief of design Tom Gale and Autoweek
(couple months back). Hmm! If not I will find the article for you Sean.
Must be old age.....

Where exactly did you get the figure of 327 hp for the HO 4.7L? I have not
heard of any concrete information on the engine... The CNG version in the
charger concept put out 325 horse and the Jeepster concept had a gas HO 4.7
with 275 hp. I expect an HO version to have the same 1 hp/cube ratio as the
5.7 hemi. Although the designs are not really the same (4.7 designed much
more economically than the 5.7 because the 5.7 can save gas by shutting down
half of the cylinders when under light load), it's likely the engineering
goal. Or perhaps the similar rated 275 hp jeepster HO will be it... 275,
287, 325, 327... i'm gonna be happy no matter what. I'd like to know your
source though...Mainly because i pride myself on keeping up on the new
engines and vehicles and i've never heard of actual output numbers for the
HO 4.7.
