Default 4.7 Litre V8 Dodge Engine

There is a motor I want to buy but the only info available says "Complete 4.7 Litre V8 Dodge Engine" the sell knows nothing other than the engine was given to them as is. In on of the pictures sent to me the there is a number that says 53020661AD-1. will this fit into my 2002 dodge quad cab with a 4.7 in it already?

Thanks in advance.

Default here is a picture of the 4.7L

here is a picture of the 4.7L, I have called the dealship and no luck they said the part number i gave them is a dodge part number but it did not bring anything up in there system for it. I looked at the picture and it looks like the exact engine in my truck. I think I may just buy it any way I only have until the end of today to decide if i want it.

Thanks for the comments.

How much they getting for it and how much for shipping
Do you even know if it's good and runs smooth? How many miles are on it? Personally I wouldn't buy it if I had no idea. They cannot possibly tell you how many miles are on it either since they don't even know anything about it if it even came outta a ram.

Here is what they sent me,
"As per the listing this engine came from a training institute and condition appears to be new, however overall condition is unknown. The training facility we received this unit from has ended its Dodge training program and sent us all assets associated from that program."

I would definately not buy that engine man. That means a bunch of kids were taking that thing apart and putting it back together numerous times! You never know if they screwed something up or multiple things.
Also, the clasees have to check bearing clearances etc so that means the bearings have been exposed and crank turned possibly without lube?, and those bearing surfaces are very prone to scratching with even a screw driver.

Notice they said training institute. Not a school room...lol... I have to run, the waste management people are outside.....lol...


DON't BUY IT!
