then y dont u get ur super charged beast, and do it all in one shot? rather then go through this pita now, then go through it again with ur super charged monster...? makes more sense to do it once.. doesnt it? so live with what u got.. and just do one massive project.. least thats what i would do once i got my pennies counted.

You still need a stand alone system to control the ignition and transmissions shifting. The 4.7L never came with a distributor so there is no place to even put one.
Never seen a 4.7L intake for a carb. You can get the intake adapters from www.airram.com to install a Ford 4.6L intake. Sullivan intakes makes a carb intake for those.

Terrible idea. FI vehicels are much more reliable and require zero maintenance as far as adjustments. They are better on fuel and make more power. Besides, you'll never be able to sell it once your done. Most states require OBDII hook-up for emissions inspections.

Did you want gauges too? You might want to save up for the aftermarket inside crap you'll need too. As far as I know, you CANNOT carb a 4.7. There's no distributor provision (CAN be gotten around) but I don't recall seeing a manifold. In addition, without the electronics, like was mentioned, tranny go bye-bye, gauges no work without proper inputs. My advice? Go buy a pre-94 Dodge Ram or Ramcharger and have fun with the 318, 360 or (gasp!) slant 6. You could even put the carb'd crate hemi in it.
