Default Throttle body swap...3.7 not 3.9

Ok so I know this has been beaten to death with the 3.9s but after many a search i have yet to find if this would be possible with mine. I have the 04 dakota with a 3.7L and want to know if i can take the TB off of a 4.7L and put in mine. and if its possible will it help any is there a big difference between the 4.7 TB and the 3.7 TB?

Thanks for all the help

Justin

Thanks for the replys.
My brother has and 04 with the 4.7l, he came down from wyo. for christmas and I measured the inside diameter of his TB and it is exactly the same as the one on my 3.7l. the mounting is a little different so i couldnt swap them out but I dont need to now that i know they are the same size.
Thanks again.
