Id say 4.7L for a couple of reasons.
1) Engineers dont just throw new engines into cars w/o testing them first.
Im sure this engine has been tested, retested, and then tested again.
2) Your always going to have to settle for year old parts
3) There is obviously a reason why they have come out with a new engine, its
probably an improvement over the 5.2L. Id take their word for it.
