Quick one. I had a read of this thread on another site, not all pictures work but the text is good:
www.ramforumz.com
I've been thinking about grabbing a 6.4 out of a Jeep wreck here in Australia and getting it ready just in case my 5.7 cam or lifters decide to die. I'd compression test it, pull the heads off and change the cam and delete MDS. Take the sump off and check bearings out and run it like that eventually.
Just wondering, if I buy a car 6.4 out of an SRT Jeep Cherokee from around the 2017-18 mark, I assume it'd have a port on the intake for the brake booster, unlike one out of a 2500?
Like the above writeup, I assume I'd just have to change the sump, timing cover and water pump off the 5.7?
I'd also line up someone to do the ECU mods for me locally.
5.7 to 6.4 swap with pictures
Hello everyone! I could not find anyone who has done this so I figured I'd tell everyone my experience and hopefully answer some questions. If youre looking at this on a phone you'll have to scroll to the bottom and exit the mobile view to see all the pictures. I have a 2012 Ram 1500 Express...
