Alright guys, this is my first post bear with me. I have a 2002 ram 1500 with the 4.7 that blew a rod through the oil pan. Ruling out the rebuild I have been calling the two wreckers up here and have no available 4.7s with the 16 tooth crank.

I have done lots of researching and have read posts that you can swap newer 4.7s in, and have read posts where I cant because the newer ones are 32t.

This will be my first engine swap so a hemi would be nice but it seems a bit out of reach to me. I would like a low mileage 4.7 to be put in but I am hesitant it will work because of the 16-32t.

My question is can i put in a newer 4.7? i can get a 05 4.7 with 50,000k on it but dont know what im getting myself into.

 

Okay so seeing how my 02 is a 16t, would it be easier to get a newer 4.7 from an 03-07 and switch the 32t with my old 16t? or easier to switch all the wiring?

any help is appreciated!!

 

Wondering this also.
