Negatory, not a 4.7. 
My handicapped proceedures
elevate the front end (rad cap being the highest point) fill er up, tryto squeeze some extra bubbles outta the upper hose-leave the cap off and start it up to let it warm up. On start the pump will surge the level so dont have it to the brim. Fill accordingly (and when temp is reached and thermo opens). Cap on-ride around a lil bit-go home let cool-pop and fill- and check every once and awhile after cooled maybe for the next two days- just to ensure to relieve all migrated air. There are systems designed to fill from the neck that act like a reserve for a complete stationary situation but i wont go that far.

Take the cap off, run the motor, watch the stat open, the fluid will drop, add coolant to the open hose. Repeat, repeat, repeat until you can't put anymore in there. It will have no air and will be full of coolant. You will be surprised how often the stat opens and how quickly it closes again. 5 minute process. Watch the fan and belt. STAY AWAY from moving parts.
