Hey guys! I’m looking into doing a 392 and 8 speed swap out of a challenger or charger soon. I’m needing to know what all is needed and will I need to change my cross member and rear differential? Also will I be able to use the 5.7 intake, exhaust manifolds and radiator setup? I want the swap to be bone stock straight out of a wrecked car. Nothing too extreme. I do want to run a similar exhaust setup as the cars. Also can I use the factory wiring harness and gauges from my truck with the pcm from the car? One more thing, how would I setup the controls for track mode and all the other options that the cars have? My truck is an 08 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 2x4 single cab long bed. Thanks in advance!

You'll probably want to start by talking to Russell at Sound German.
