You can get the pan off in a 4x dakota without pulling the motor, . Likely you have not damaged the crank just yet, if it has not rotated too many times.
However, reality is , that you will probably want this motor out, and on the stand to do any sort of crank /bearing work .
Either way, I would just loosen up rod bolts on individual cylinders till it freed up, then figure out what went wrong. Has to be wrong cap, cap on backwards, or wrong sized rod bearings . Doesn't a 4.7 have cracked rods ? If so, a mistake here should be pretty easy to figure out . I would not think that you could have missed that during assembly though.
Once you have figured out which one is tight, time to do a little measuring .
I hate all those motors, blech
