Default 4.7 engine interchange

2000 d 4.7L motor is knocking on the right top. What other year/vehicle will work?

2000-2003 4.7s for the least amount of crossover issue. Basically plug and play on those.

Accept the 16 pin and 32 pin connection. Other than that, the motors are the same.

They mean you are running what is reffered to as a JTEC computer in those years. The only real difference between any 4.7 is the tone wheels. And I won't agree with you being able to take an '03 Durango motor and plug and play into a '00. '03 was the year of the change to the NGC computer, which utilizes a 32 tooth tone ring. You, on the other hand, are using a 16 tooth tone ring. Easiest way to tell if you are JTEC or NGC is to look at the computer, if it has 3 plugs on it you are JTEC, if it has 4 you are NGC.

HOWEVER, you can swap tone rings. It is a little bit of a PITA but it is possible. I am taking an '03 Durango motor and putting it into my '01 Dakota Quad Cab right now.

Here is a link to the thread that I posted about some of my work, and there is a link there to my flickr albums showing the two engines.

If you can find it, a 4.7 from some early Jeeps are HO (High Output) and JTEC controlled, it would not only swap in without switching rings, but it would also be HO.

I cannot vouge for its accuracy, but it looks to be a good resource.

Double check the computer though when you see one.
