Why a 4.7 if I may ask. If you're dropping in a new motor why not a 5.7? Unless you already had a 4.7 in which case the work becomes easier

I believe he already had a 4.7 but it blew up. I recall seeing a thread he started inquiring about a 5.7 swap and what all it would require.

Most people just go to a junkyard and pull an engine from a truck there because it's cheaper and you can grab everything you need out from under the hood. If anything I would contact Mopar or Dodge directly and ask them

And what do you suggest he ask about? If they will send him a brand new 4.7 free of charge? Not trying to start any trouble or anything, I just don't see what that would do for him.
