4.7 engine swap?

DusterDude72 said

have a 4.7 in my 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited....love it,runs great at 106,000 miles on the clock.

much smoother acelleration than that of a 360 I have got as good at 26 MPG on the highway and 21 city....on average is more like 16 city and 21 highway.

but like others have said.....finding aftermarket swap parts would be few and far between and you would have better luck swapping a new hemi or a magnum 360 or something that parts are more available for.

I agree, I know alot of people don't like the 4.7, I have over 200,000 on my 01 quad cab dakota, I get 21-23 mpg on highway,and has lot's of torque. The only downfall to these motors is, maintenance, you have to change your oil every 3000 miles no exception's! I also run mobile 1 truck/suv oil in mine. My buddy builds motors for a living, and say's when they blow, there usually junk, but the one's that have problems are normally due to oil related problems, not changing it regularly, and not using quality oil.
