4.3L Power!

what ever happened to the AMC/Mopar 4.7? 310HP NET? Not too bad....
2008 Ram 1500 310 hp @ 5,650 rpm 329 lb-ft 3,950 rpm (at the wheels)

I remember reading a MoparAction mag article on it (2006 ish) and they said it was the new performance platform with performance parts in the works....yeah: like none?

Drove the first version of the 4.7L for a work truck. Not bad unloaded, but with the 3.55 gears struggled to stay in O/D with any kind of load or pulling a trailer. Admittingly, I usually pulled the trailer in drive regardless, but did forget to turn O/D off on occassion.
