One problem:
Article written in 1999 - They're not "Fly by Wire" (TV cable is...but
not the throttle).
If you really want to get into the 4.7L (and 4.7L HO) specs:

Subject: DML: 4.7l tear apart
a link to a page where they tear open the 4.7l
almost a hemi, aftermarket etc... stand -out to me

aftermarket - and Mopar Performance - take the 287? There's already a
supercharger setup from Performance West, and available through any Jeep
dealer. But less radical upgrades would seem to be quite easy. Revised,
premium fuel calibration - more spark advance, and a tad more fuel in
the form of a computer chip flash would seem to be almost a must.
There's room for larger valves, the Mopar machine shops are probably
already plotting how they'll re-contour and flow the heads; headers are
almost guaranteed, along with a less restrictive air intake setup, and
Crane or Comp Cams will surely have cams for it. In other words, we see
no reason why this engine can't respond to all the usual hot rodding
techniques, and then some. In fact, with such a bountiful set of basic
ingredients, hot rodding this engine seems a natural.....
