4.7 compared to 5.2

Coyote Jack said

I can pick up a 4.7L that has some issues with water getting into the crankcase due to a blown head gasket for free. What are the differences between a 2002 4.7 and a 1998 5.2?

The engine still runs with good oil pressure but has a nasty ticking coming from one of the tappets.

personally, I would stay away from the 4.7L. These engines have known problems, especially if it is of the 2000 vintage. they are sludge factories, I had nothing but problems with mine... leading to the need to rebuild the bottom end after only 80,000 miles. I got rid of the truck. I maintained the engine well, used only mobile 1 after breakin.
