Engine Swap

[bjames]

I know this has probably been beaten to death at some point but I wanted to know if anyone has done an upgrade from the Magnum 4.7 to a 5.7 Hemi and what is required to do so. Normally, I have supercharged all my 4.7 Magnums and had a great running truck. However, I am not looking to manufacture more brackets and buy new things for another motor if in fact I can swap out to a 5.7. Any one with experience or who knows where to find someone that does I would appreciate the help. Current motor has just turned 191,000 and is showing its time is getting close to expiring and looking to get things ready for the transplant fairly soon.

easiest thing is looks for a wrecked hemi truck for a donor vehicle. that way you have all the wiring and computers and anything else you might need.

Yeah donor vehicle would be best bet... And you will have a lot of parts to steal from to either if you need it or part it out you will get your money back that you paid
