- SRT 10 Viper Motor and Tranny
Ok my wife finally killed something other than plants. She killed her 08 ram 1500. I warned her to check the oil at least once a week, but like a lot of women she did not listen. So now I gotta get a new motor for it. Found a hemi with tranny for sale in my area but needing a bit of advice. The engine she killed is the 4.7l (which I am gonna steal some parts off for my 3rd ram which is going to my daughter when she hits 16) and the tranny is ok (automatic). I have done engine swaps before (my driver has a viper motor, tranny, and rear end in it now), but not from the 4.7l to the hemi. The Hemi I found is in a 2010 ram witht eh automatic, but if I can use the automatic in her truck I would prefer to use that. Will the 2011 hemi bolt right up or would it be better just to get both from the guy that ahs the motor and tranny (the price for them is right). 3rd vehicle my wife has killed and I am getting frustrated with her about this.
