if i am thinking correct and the 4.7 is the same as the 5.7 in terms of the throttle body...the throttle body is on its side so you would need a intake and a carb then run fuel lines do something with the computer....hassle

do you plan on gettin rid of the auto trans too?... since they are all electronic.
i just dont see why you would want to go through all this trouble just to get rid of some wires.... unless its to trade the 4.7 for a hemi, thatd be sweet!

id take out the computer and have the trans work of a ratchet shifter if i can figure out how to do that...it sounds easy in my head but i have no idea how the trans works id have to talk to my motor/trans guy

Why not go buy an older truck and put whatever you want in it?
