Default 4.7 stroker

Im thinking about getting one of titans 4.7 stroker motors. how difficult would it be to swap it for the original 4.0? would all the accesories, exhaust manifold, injectors ect. work from the old 4.0? also would i need to do anything to the computer?

I found the titan website then did some googling. 15 minutes later I decided against it. Pay up for a Hesco.

I have a 4.7 Hesco and have no complaints. Just throw in a set of mustang injectors and roll with it.

In a stroker only the internals are what change. That means everything should bolt right back on if you are replacing it with with a block/head combo from around the same year... Some things changed around the 2000 year that will affect your intake/exhaust port locations.

Other than that I would look elsewhere than Titan. This does not come from my own personal experience, but from numerous accounts of problems. You may be one to get an engine from them with no immediate problems, but I would be worried about longevity.

Mainly those stroker motors have 4.2 internals so I just put a regular 4.2 in mine. I used the 4.0 head (flows better than 4.2) renix injection unit and front accessories. The only other major part I had to swap was the flywheel due to the sensor ring for the CPS.

Also Clifford performance makes a Carb kit for the 4.0 head if you use it on a 4.2.
