Since I don't know the meaning of the word "inexpensive," I'm going to
suggest you get the 4.7HO bits out of a Grand Cherokee, which include
Heads, Camshafts, and Intake manifold. This will put you to at least
265 ponies and 325 lb-ft of torque. I don't know if there is a
different engine computer calibration, but if there is, your results
won't be a stellar.
KRC performance has a fairly complete line of 4.7 stuff - they even have
a page of common stuff for the 4.7. You can get ported heads and such
for the 4.7 from them as well. http://www.krcperformance.com
