I've had both the 4.7 and the 5.7 in a half ton, so here's my $.02 worth. The 4.7 is a better motor than most older small V-8s from 10-20 years ago. Roughly similar to the 318, but better than the 305 or 302......I had/drove all three at one time or another. It'll downshift on grades and make a lot of noise in passing situations but, hey, it's still a small V-8. The 5.7 Hemi is the true follow-on to the Vortec 350 in terms of performance. Imagine the late model 350s with a little extra pop and that's what this motor is. The big difference here is mileage. Having both engines in nearly identical vehicles the mpg difference is nearly unnoticeable. Uphill, downhill, hot or cold, headwind, tailwind....I see about 17-18 mpg out of each in normal highway driving.
