4.7 engine swap to a 5.7 hemi

[jsmith180601]

So I was thinking of buying a new truck but I read on another forum of people swapping engines. I just want more power and I also heard the 5.7 has better fuel economy.
My truck is a 2002 ram 1500 with the 4.7motor. What I'm asking is will the motor mounts line up and what modifications will be needed. Has anybody done the swap? Any information will help

Find a wrecked donor truck for your app an 03 would be the easier swap, I stress the word easier. Its not as simple and pull the 4.7, drop in the 5.7 because of the exhaust, trans mount, throttle body, wiring harness with all connectors and sensors, pcm and a longer list of odds and ends.

Sell truck, buy truck with 5.7L.

If he likes the body style the ticket is to buy an 05 so the modding ability will be endless, or how much the bank account can take.
