i can get a used 4.7L and the automatic trans to go with it shipped to me for
$2003.05

the engien has 79k on it
the trans has 60K on it too

i was thinking of goin with a built trans and a shift kit and just freshing up the engine with synthetic fluids and a cam upgrade

I still stalk you guys in this section.

I think you should beable to get a engine and tranny for under 2k... hell you can probly buy another dak for just over 2k lol just find a wrecked truck and yank the motor/tranny outta it.
