Okay, stop for a second and think about this. You could sell your 4 banger and get the big ole V8, and drop $26k or so. Or you could drop $5k give or take a few thousand and get your 4 banger to perform like a 4.7 V8. To be quite honest you should just sell the ole' slow poke and get what you really want, a nice, fast, R/T. You could also spend $16k like me and get a nice 4.7 V8 SLT and dump a grand or two into and get it damn close to a R/T. Its your money. I just don't see the logic in dumping all that money into a 4 Banger just to make it perform like a stock V8.

it was a free truck and just putting it on tractor tires so don't really care to do a whole motor swap rather slap a turbo on it and ride

Turbododge.com would be your best bet. Otherwise swap in a turbo 4 cuylfrom,a turbo Fwd mopar and youccan modify from there
