Hemi Swap VS 5.9 Swap VS Change Heads?
Hey hey!
SO, as we all most likely have discovered, the 4.7 is really inefficient as far as "Bang-for-your-Buck" goes. Therefore, I've been considering a hemi swap, the 5.9 swap or I have also heard that changing the heads in a 318 to those of a 360 also works? Can someone confirm this true or false? What would someone recommend being cheapest and easiest to do... Roughly anyways.
Thanks!

Exactly what engine do you have in your truck right now? Cause the 3.7, 4.7 and 5.7 line are completely different than the 3.9, 5.2, and 5.9 line. No engine parts, transmissions, or electronics are swappable between the two lines of engines.
If you have a 4.7 right now, swapping in a 5.2 or 5.9 would be A LOT of work. You'd need a new computer, all new wiring, new transmission, and mounts. Swapping in a 5.7 would probably be less involved, but cost a lot.
As far as 5.2 vs 5.9 heads... they are exactly the same on both engines.
