I have to make a decision pretty soon work my Dakota. Rebuild my 4.7, replace it or do an engine swap. There's no piston or block damage so the rebuild would be fairly inexpensive, for a 4.7l anyway, and a new (Remanufactured) long block 4.7l is about $2800. I'm thinking also for the engine swap going to a 5.9l which I'm pretty sure isn't fuel injected so there wouldn't probably Jane to be ECU change and a transmission change. Any ideas are welcome. I've rebuilt the top end once before, that was about $1600 with labor and machine work.
