Yes a 4.7 stick would beat an RT stock for stock, same bed/cab configuration. I say that because they're so close that a stock reg cab RT might beat a stock club cab 4.7 stick

Rt was available until 03 and was always 5.9/auto.

In 2000 or 2001 whatever year the 4.7 came in, it replaced the 5.2. I would avoid the 4.7. Not as many mods available, and you can't swap a 5.2 or 5.9 into a 4.7 truck without a total wiring and computer overhaul.




Again, i'm really not looking to build a race truck or hotrod. If i could get some longtubes and a true dual exhaust on there, maybe fix that awful factory tune, i'd be more than happy. I'd prefer the MPG ov a 4.7L over the torque ov the 5.9L any day. After driving a much-lightened big block muscle car, its not like either would be fast to me anyways...

Cool looking, cool sounding, V8 + stick (both mandatory), light as possible, simple as possible, best MPG possible. Thats the target.

Hmmm... sounds like i should just keep the Mustang...
