Hey I'm new here, I know I'm beating a dead horse also, but gonna ask anyway
I have an 05 ram 1500 4.7 ltr, I'm wanting to swap to the 5.7 hemi, I'm wanting to go ahead and put engine, trans, ecu, harness, and whatever else is required, I keep reading different opinions, so is this possible or not, what are the problems, I can't see spending 35k on a truck with over a 100k miles on it

Anything can be done but in the long run is it really worth it? no not really thats why alot of people do not do this swap its easier to go buy a truck with a hemi. You can get a 05 with a hemi for about $3-4k or a used 4th gen for about 7-10k with a hemi used car market is dropping fast$.

What do you mean in the long run? Does it cause other problems or something?

Well first off the motor mounts are way diffrent probably have to change brackets on frame? you would basically need a parts truck and then use everything.
