the 4.7 would cost as much as a hemi conversion. it is also wider then the 5.7 and uses the same 5 speed auto as the hemi. you would need to make new frame brackets for the motor, the wireing will not be simple either. if you do persue this route i would recommend a dakota engine trans donor with all the acc and electronics. there is a ho model not sure of the power tho for the money the 5.7 is more bang for youre buck.
