First, I am a long time fan of the poly chambered engines and have been frustrated about the relative lack of current after market participation in the improvement of our engines. Our engines are seldom seen as powerhouses outside our rather small fraternity. Truth be told, it was Chrysler that turned its back on our engines and never looked back. Quite a few years later, there has been another similar situation building around the current 4.7 liter OHC engines. Mopar has recently upgraded this family of bread and butter engines, but the 4.7 is existing in the shadow of the bigger, stronger, more popular new hemis. This may be a good thing for those of us who are interested in poly engines. The 4.7's are showing up in junk yards at more attractive prices than are the hemis. Please forgive me, but I am not a numbers matching kind of guy. I have always loved cars and engines of all descriptions and will never be constrained by a fear of modifying anything from stock. That said, I think that the 4,7 would make a pretty decent replacement for the old polys. I don't mean to stop working on them and enjoying them in whatever vehicle a person would like. I simply mean that with some yankee/kiwi brain power, we might just find that this recent descendent of our beloved poly deserves a shot. I can easily see a modern poly with a modern overdrive tranny, manual or automatic, in a '50's or '60's mopar, cruising down the road with reasonable fuel mileage, good performance, and classic style. What do you think? Has anyone done one of these engines? Bob in Sacramento ---- Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
