I realize the temptation of using what you have and using an engine you know the history of.

However, for simplicity of installation, a 5.2 or 5.9 would be a more practical choice. From what I've seen/heard, 4.7s are decent engines but there is demand for used ones also.

The speed parts for a 4.7 will be very limited and very expensive.

Sell teh 4.7 and get a Maggie.
