Magnum 5.2
Hello everyone I'm new here.
I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Ext Cab with a 5.2l Magnum. Just replaced the water pump then I heard clanking noise somewhere towards the front of the motor. Now if I try to start it .. it just sounds like it's spinning fast with no kick.
I'm hoping I kinda explained it. The sound is new to me.

So my question is if I have a Hemi 5.7 out of a car can I install it in my truck?
The motor came out of a 2016 Charger. Just curious if it will work or should I just break my motor down?

5.7 hemi
Rebuild what you have , it would be a whole lot more of everything to make the hemi work. Hope all goes well for you.

This page is dedicated to swapping the later hemi into an earlier chassis.Might be worth joining and asking a few questions. John at Boosted MotorSports is another guy to track down,as he's done a few swaps.

A book you might want to also pick up.
