Your gap will be .35" (I think).

Gap them at the factory gap for your specific year/make/model.
If you're running an MSD (or any other aftermarket ignition system), you can enlarge the gap by .005-.010". Add Nitrous or a Supercharger and you'll have to go back to factory spec or about .005" smaller.

For the 2001 4.7, copper Autolite 3923's are the way to go, not platinum, right, something to do with messing up the coils?
Thanks (now if I could only find these plugs...)

you can find the plugs at oreilly auto parts. I think they are like 80 cents each or so. To me it was a pain to change them as well just because you have to remove the air hat and move some air conditioning lines i think. Be careful with the clips because the plastic is fairly brittle.

Everyone says that the Autolite 3923 is the way to go but is this still true for the 4.7 or is there a different part number for the 4.7 from the other engines?

I put them in my 01 4.7 and haven't had a problem with anything. No pinging. I haven't really noticed a big difference either but I haven't been able to find an aftermarket ignition system for it yet either.
