Re: Hemi Dakota?
Actually, not exactly. The 4.7 was designed to be extremely compact. It's externally smaller than the hemi.
Right now, a resounding no.
The plant making Hemis in Mexico is going at full tilt, and Chrysler is still short Hemi engines. Chrysler is footdraging about expanding production to another plant because they believe the market will turn against big engines in the near future.
The only way you'll see Hemi engines expanded to other vehicles is if Chrysler expands production of the Hemi engines to another facility (they are supposed to be deciding this around now) , or if Hemi sales begin to soften, and Chrysler expands to other models to keep the plant going flat out.
