I dunno. Maybe the mainstream engine will be totally different. DC's
throwing lots of little tidbits around but I don't think the 4.7 cast in
concrete yet. Will be interesting to see what happens when the 5.9 is
discontinued. Maybe I'll have an antique sooner than I thought.

Not until it becomes main-stream engine. In another couple of years the
part bins will be filling up.

it just seems apropriate to put this in for the old 360 ci when you start
screeming mods ( and you will )between it and the 4.7 just remember that
mopar has just releast stroker cranks for the 318/340/ and 360 four
differant ones even . the 360 can now be maid to 408ci easy or with more
work to 426ci with a estimated 500+horse easy with good heads .and as of yet
i dont see any parts to do this to a 4.7 yet so you will have to find h.p.
elswere.
