Spitting water out of the radiator does not necessarily mean your engine is blown up. Have it checked out before installing a new engine. The fix might be just a few dollars.
4.7L magnum? You should be safe for 00 to 09 but it's crucial to rely on a shop manual and go by part numbers. They continually adjust specs for engines year to year so using parts from other years can cause issues. You're better off tearing down a motor then getting the parts once you see exactly what you need.
