As far as the eng noise it may be a rocker arm but usually they pop out due to a lifter issue.Check all the lifter bores for cracking if you have a bad lifter.This eng and the 4.7L are very sensitive to dirty oil.I only run a full syn oil in them.




Eng swaps? I have seen one with a 4.7L. Hemi won't fit and even the new 3.6L won't fit.
