| | Chrysler's New 4.7L Engine |
 | | The Hemi, Chrysler's first V8, when introduced in 1951 at 331 inches, was anything but economical to manufacture: Complex head castings, four rocker shafts, etc. So the A engine-ers tried to keep some of the best features of the Hemi, but with pared down costs. |
 | | While this engine was never really a killer performance-wise, it stood the test of time, and was produced by the zillions through 1967. |
 | | These are truck engines, after all: 0.443" lift on the intake, and 0.429" on the exhaust, duration is 244 degrees intake, 254 on the exhaust, partially compensating for the smallish exhaust valves. |
