The LS1 is very (very) close to those specs (and also at 350CID).

But...a BIG improvement for Dodge (they finally did it right!) :)

Subject: DML: 2003 Rams

I saw a 2003 Ram today with the Hemi engine badge on the fender. Sure
wish it could come in a Dakota R/T. Here is something I copied from an
advertisement; "The Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty Pickups are completely
redesigned with new styling and new powerplants. The standard engine in
all Ram Heavy Duty trucks is a 5.7-liter HEMI Magnum producing a
class-leading 345 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque." I think GM has
to have a lot more cubes than that to make over 300 hp. 5.7 is only
350cid (aprox).
