i did an ho swap about 6months ago. i had ho cams in my standard motor and they rocked. the full HO motor is better than just standard 4.7 and HO cams. the heads and crank is where the major differences are in the motors. if you have the $$$$$ and want to boost your truck swap a HO motor. if you want some nice power just do ho cams.

 

Torque: 329 ft-lbs. @ 3600 rpm
Horsepower: 302 hp @ 4600 rpm

2008+ 4.7L

but would it work with out computer and trans?

can get one local junk yard $2000

 

thoes numbers are at the crank. and the 08+ are DBW

 

my mistake :P I must have understood an earlier thread wrong. I will definitly be getting one after feb. then

still much better than my 230 crank 175 rwhp though. What's DBW?

 

Drive by wire.

 

dont forget the sonnax... and e-fan and true dual exhaust

 

what do i need from sonnax?

 

line booster...so the oil pressure in the tranny is higher...its a 39$ easy 5 min mod.

 

IF I were to do a swap, Id probably get an Hemi instead of the 4.7, cause a 4.7 HO would cost probably be as much (possibly more than) as an hemi, but Hemi's are a little bit more avaliable, and there would be more aftermarket stuff for them. Just a thought.

 

and charlies pan offer a swap pan now
