Hi i have a 96 ram that i'm planning on fixing up in the near future and i want to do a 392 hemi engine crate swap and i'm making a list of everything i need.
But from what ive seen no one has done this. ive seen 5.7 hemi swaps but not the 392 the bigggest thing that worries me is the engine mounts
Here's my list but if you any of you see this and can think of anything write it down.
Thank you
1-Wiring harness(im thinking one out of a challenger would do the trick or even out out of a new model ram)
2-motor mounts(im not sure how i can do this ive seen some people say that the motor mounts for a 5.9 can fit a 5.7 but you would need to shave them down because the enigne would be sitting too high but i want to do a 392 engine which i think is 6.4 so i dont know)
3-transmission
4-drive shaft would be easy
