I didn't know for sure, but it seems true, the 5.7 will have 2 plugs per cylinder.
the Ram 2500 & 3500 in Sept 2002.
It will be in the Ram 1500 in Jan 2003.

Yupp, but my question is, I wonder if they went through that cylinder shut off thing they were working on. Where some of the cylinders actually shut off to save on fuel consumption.

Hope not, never seemed to work when it was tried in the caddys.

Caddy does however make a v-8, 32 valve engine!

That must be OHC or DOHC, right?

Chrysler canned the idea of cylinder shut down. It works like a conventional v8 only with 2 spark plugs per cylinder.
