ok so the 5.7 hemi with tranny seems like its the one i will go for, is there anything else i will have to replace for this engine? im betting the motor mounts will have to be changed. do i have to change the tranny mounts?
how much would it cost for a mechanic to swap the engines?
what hemi should i look for?
year?
model?
im guessing it from a dodge vehicle
and should i find one with a 4wd tranny? or would a 2wd tranny do just fine? my truck is a 4x4

If you have a mechanic do it, they will charge you a couple thousand if not more. It's all labor and shop supplies, and at $75 an hour it adds up quick. Not worth it AT ALL if you having a mechanic do the work for you.

I'll do the swap.. Install the Motor and hook up the wires for $1,000.00..You'll need a Motor And Transmission- from 2003 to 2005 Ram-and the wiring harness with computer with it..How far are you from S.C..?I will charge $300.00 to weld the exhaust in. What I won't hook up for that price is the a/c and cruise control..You can see mine on Dakota Hemi Swap with pics..
Here's mine..

you can edit the posts, look at ur post bottom right the the "edit" button.
but my questions are, were do i buy the wiring harness with computer, and are u talking about the hemi engine computer? and u said something about $300 exhaust, is that to buy the new headers and pipes not including install, or is that including installation?
im guesing that when this new motor goes in i will need new headers and pipes, will those headers and pipes fit to come out safely
