Tech Question
ron hamilton, minden, NV, 1973 plymouth sebring 318
Hello, I want a newer Dak. Do you like the 5.2 motor or the 4.7? I'm going to search for one with an auto trans. and 4 wheel drive. Are the auto overdrive trannys the same or are there differences? Thanks, GM blows.
The '08 and' 09 4.7L make over 300HP, not too shabby.
Both engines are fine. Nice thing about the 5.2L (318) is that it is so easy to go to a 5.9 (360) later. Both have been 'gone' now for about 7 years.
The trannys are totally different. The 4.7L has a 5-speed, modern tranny. The 5.2's box is 727-based, "added on" overdrive 4th. The new one is certainly more flexible and fuel efficient. However, both are reliable.
If GM blows -- and, agreed, they do -- what do you have to say about the sushi-munching bloodsuckers?
Rick
