New engine questions

[Brandonc1]

My truck has 223,000 miles and the 5.7 I have in it is done.
I want to get a new crate motor in the truck but I can’t find where to buy one and what exact part number I need.

I believe I need part # 04893430PA
However I can’t find any engines for sale with that number. I’ve found a motor on mopar parts online https://www.allmoparparts.com/sku/68303088aa.html that says it will fit my truck but it has a different part number (68303088AC). Will this work with my truck ? It’s a 2014 Ram 1500 Express 4WD with the 8 speed.

When you say your engine is 'done' did it lock up? what exactly happened to it?

3 lobes of my cam are messed up from the lifters. I’d rather just get a new engine a lot of shavings likely.

The crate engine in this thread is a lot more expensive than the one I’m looking at.

Honestly unless the truck is in like spotless condition no rust ect you should just find a lower mileage used engine out of a wreck usually 1800-2k ish just my opinion but hey its your $$ whatever floats ur boat lol.

Let's see if @AllMoparParts.com chimes in, although Benny may need your VIN number.

If my engine went and the rest of the truck was in good shape I'd take that as incentive to put a 392 in...
