Should I touch a high mileage 4.7L?

[briwayjones]

Hello all!

I came across a clean 2007 quad cab with the 4.7L. The ad says it was driven by an elderly gentleman, it is clean inside and out, and was mostly highway miles. The thing is, it has 293K miles on it. Should I even touch it? I don't know anything about the 4.7L engines.

Thanks

4.7s engines are good and will run very high miles if maintained however if its the orig engine and trans I would not unless its like $800 lol

I wouldn't touch it, not in a truck

I got the 5.7 hemi in mine and it still runs like a truck

What's the price? How much money/time are you willing to dump in to it? What's the use scenarios? Anything that matters if the truck grenades?
