Nope. Motor mounts are in different location. Good try, though.

Just find another 4.7 an HO if possible it will run circles around the 5.9, or mine will anyway even with over 200,000 mi. on it.


Or just swap a good 4.0 into it out of a late model.

There always is the Hemi, but with any other engine but the 4.7, you're talking about major surgery to the wiring and computer system. As the saying goes, with enough $$$, anything is possible.
