The P-47 was already in production with a Pratt & Whitney radial engine when the XIV-2220 flew successfully in trials in 1945 as a possible upgrade, but the war was winding down and it did not go into production.
An upgrade is available to the 5.7-liter (350 cu in) Chrysler Hemi, a V8 engine, which produces 395 horsepower (295 kW) and 410 pound force-feet (556 N⋅m) of torque. The engine is equipped with Variable Cam Timing (VCT) and a Multi-Displacement System (MDS) which shuts down four of the engine's eight cylinders when operating between 1,000 and ...
