So long story short, I ended up with a 15k mile '13 5.7 out of a wrecked 6 speed manual Challenger. From what I've read, this should be a VVT/Non- MDS engine, correct? I was debating trying to find a high mileage/blown engine 4x4 Ram to throw the engine into. My questions are mainly:
Would I be able to swap the truck intake/exhaust manifolds, accessory drive, oil pan, and flexplate onto the car engine?
I'm assuming at very least I should get am '09+ truck as they had the VVT 5.7s, will I run into issues with the engine being Non-MDS if I got a tuner to deactivate MDS(I wanted to do this anyway to hopefully avoid the cam/lifter problems)
Any other potential issues I haven't mentioned yet that I should look out for?
