Ok, thanks alot I realize to each his own. But I got what i was hoping for, just a nice background on all the motors :).
The 4.7 will genereally keep up with a 5.9, except on the hole shot because of the torque with the 5.9

The 5.9 only comes with a 4 spd auto.......there are conversion kits but they're incredibly expensive

If you want a standard transmission I would pick the 5.2 solely due to the aftermarket support

otherwise I say 5.9 all the way!.... very good in stock form and takes very well to modifications
