No...the 4.7 is a totally different breed.
On the Moroso "Pre Luber", it's not required on the everyday street engine.
(Diesels and Turbo engines would take advantage of the extra oil circulation
due to the turbos boiling the oil after the engine has been shut down.)
Running synthetics has been a long debated subject that has never been won
or lost. You can run whatever you feel comfortable with as long as you keep
a regular schedule on your oil changes (every 3000-3500 miles). If you go
longer than that, synthetics can help out...but do NOT run them (as claimed
by Amsoil) past 10K miles....that's just asking for trouble. (Every oil, no
matter if it's synthetic or "dino" will break down eventually....adding an
extra filter like the Amsoil systems is only mildly prolonging the
inevitable.)

Does this kit (roller rockers) for the V-8 inlude the 4.7? Do the heads
need to come off to have this installed? I am wondering if the rocker arms
bolts are just that or pressed in and need to be relpaced? Want to do this
to my engine just to prevent side wear to valve guilds mostly. Also, what
is the big advantage to running synthetic oils? I remember Moroso used to
make a device that would prelube the engine before you started it to
prevent the most common cause of engine wear, does the synthetics negate
the need for that device?
Thanks,
John
