I have been having some engine trouble for the past few months and my mechanic looked everything over, and everything was ok... start it up and BANG. So Mr.Piston met Ms. Valve and they got it on... Hard... So in a nut shell my pistons are toast. He suggested that I would buy a used engine and install it as it would be cheaper than fixing up mine. Can I take any 4.7L? or does it have to be my model year? Any Help is great guys

 

well you need to match up tone wheels 16 tooth for 3 plug ecm and 32 tooth for 4 plug i believe is how it is but maybe its time you do a H.O. swap

 

yeah I was thinking about doing a H.O swap or trying to put in a 08 motor but I wasn't sure if that would be way over my head or not

 

I dont know what you want to spend but you can get a rebuilt engine for about $3K to $4K from places.

How many miles on yours if over 160K you need a rebuilt engine everything is just old and tired redy to give it up like the valve did.

 

do an HO swap. if you did an 3G motor swap you will need to change tone rings.

motor swap is going to cost you about 2500-3000k. thats what i ran me. the HO is so worth it man, the power is awesome!

Wait you have the 04! you already have the 4plug pcm which is ngc, so you could do a 3g swap.

 

So if I do a H.O swap would I need the wiring harness? or could I swap everything

 

http://www.spaldings.com/parts.htm they have a 08 4.7l out of a durango for $1850 with 33k miles

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Engin...item1c1e10d9e7

about the same price shipped and about the same miles im guessing 36 is 36k

 

plug and play. no wiring harness just make sure you have the 4plug pcm and you are set.

 

Ok I'm heading to the junkyard tomorrow to see if I can find anything good local, otherwise that ebay ad looks good and its got really low miles.

Yup I have a 4-Plug PCM

 

Hemi swap!!!
