Tech Question
joe baray, milford, DE, 2004 dodge dakota 4.7
First off- it's very smooth how you've lumped the newsstand and adult book store together; they were out of Giant Thighs Action, so Mopar Action it was.
Anyway, I'm looking for some back ground info about the 4.7. I read
Ehrenberg's in-depth analysis some time back, but my question relates more
to its lineage. Some of my friends claim this as a Mercedes motor, I was
under the impression it was a clean sheet Mopar design. Your help, please.
Joe
Joe, it has no relation whatsoever to any Mercedes engine, there are no M-B parts (or even ideas) in it, it's 100% Chrysler designed in USA. But not quite "clean sheet", it was designed to utilize as much LA-engine tooling as possible to minimize changeover costs.
