Depends on the measurements. If the measurements for the bearings are the same or within the same tolerances, then more likely yes it could theoretically work.
Also depends on the cam lobes and valve timing. A lot of variables.

Why do you want to put ford cams in your dodge motor? Just curious what your reasoning is.

once you price out the 4.7l cams and the 4.6l cams you will see why and there is alot more cams avalible for the 4.6l cause right now only a couple companys make 4.7l cams if they do work it will be a cheaper upgrade more people can do
