one more thing on 4.7 Daks...

This may have been mentioned before .

When I took a look at the engine , they not only have the standard thermal
clutch fan , but also an electric puller fan on the same side of the
radiator .

I am curious .

I would say that maybe this is to make sure air is moving across the
condensor for the AC when the fan clutch is not engaged , but there isn't
one on the R/T , so I must believe that the 4.7 is harder to cool for
whatever reason .

Also , the obvious resin intake versus the aluminum one on the old Magnum
enigines . I guess you can port it with sandpaper , hehehe .

and those valve covers.......don't worry , it will only be 9 months before
Mopar Performance comes out with a set of aluminum covers......HA!

All in all , the engine looked good an performed acceptably , but it is
*really* crammed in there ,maybe even tighter than my 5.9 .
