wrong. DC already rebored it to a 5.4. You will see this engine soon on
other vehicles.

Actually stroking is changing the crankshaft so that the pistons travel
farther thus increasing displacement. Boring out the cylinders is actually
called (oddly enough) Boring.

Historically people have taken a crankshaft from a larger engine with the
same design. I.E using a Chevrolet 327 crank in a 283 block to give you
the classic 302 used in the first generation Z28's (please excuse the
chubby reference) Since there are no larger engines as of yet with the
same design as the 4.7 there probably is no way to stroke a 4.7. I could
be wrong on that.

On an unrelated note check out yesterday's Buzz at
http://www.car-truck.com/chryed/buzz/b022400.htm

I won the 1:43 replica of the #22 Joe Britt Dodge Daytona Charger!!!!!!!
WOO HOO!!!

 what is stroking the engine
  can I do it to my 4.7 5spd 3.92 2wd ?
 about how much does it cost ? is it worth it ?

Stroking is basically boring out the top and bottom end of the engine.
Bigger pistons, cam, crank, and all the goodies to match.
The parts dont exist for the 4.7, plus I doubt anyone knows what you could
actually bore out a 4.7 to.
Get a supercharger designed for low end boost. Thats what I want!
