Furious65, I am no expert but if the 4.7 is drive by wire and they are, why not try it. if you can put a 727 small block behind the motor and run the FASTefi system or something equivilent call it a day. I again am no expert but It would be safe to assume the trans bolt pattern should be the same. if you run a 727 or a 904 you at least keep the speedo. I dont think this would be as hard as we think this would be. Again just my opinion and we all know what those are like. I am going to do some research and see what i can turn over. if any.
