05 quad cab engine swap
i have the 4.7 with the 45re tranny and heavy duty rear end. the motor is not ment to be in this world for much longer it was abused and mistreated before i got it 8 months ago and now sounds like a diesel on startup till it warms up and eats oil and piston slap in the winter until warmup. question is, what can i put into it that i could just bolt on. no salvage yard in my entire province has a 4.7 on hand for this year but they do have 3 3.7 v6 but i dont want a small v6 it already lacks power for how heavy it is. but they do have 4.7 for 08 and up it said on there website but im looking at 2600$.would a newer 4.7 work on my setup? what have people done?
also how does a resonator delete kit sound like. is it too loud? there is a bylaw in my town which cant be more than 100 decibels or you get a ticket.

the 3.7 will not bolt right up, the bell housing is completely different. 08+ 4.7's have an extra spark plug per cylinder, so it will bolt right up, but it might not function correctly without getting the computer at the same time.
as for the resonator delete, if you still have your stock muffler, then the sound shouldn't be too loud. i would only be worried if you remove the resonator and have a different muffler.

I know that, get a trans with it. This is what I plan to do when my 4.7 takes a poop. *KNOCK ON WOOD* Just going to get the harness and ecu but strip the harness to only where it needs to be to start it. Have an ignition for that, but have it put button, and hide the key that is turned in the ignition somewhere in the dash.
