4.7 L Magnum

The Magnum 4.7-Liter SOHC POWER TECH V-8

The sophisticated 4.7-liter V8 Magnum was a clean-sheet design for the 2000 model Durango. It uses a modern overhead-cam configuration, as opposed to the 5.9-liter engine's traditional overhead-valve design. Unless you are planning to tow or you are into performance modifications, the more modern 4.7-liter overhead-cam engine may be a better choice over the older 5.9-liter V8.

As mentioned, the 4.7 liter version was the first of this family, appearing in the 2000 Dodge Durango.


The displacement is 4.7 L (4701 cc/286 in³) with a bore of 3.66 in (93 mm) and a stroke of 3.40 in (86.4 mm). It has a cast iron block and aluminum "almost Hemi" heads with two valves per cylinder.

It uses a chain-driven overhead camshaft. It originally produced 235 hp (175 kW) and 295 ft·lb (400 N·m) of torque.

The PowerTech was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1999.
