Hey DodgeTrooper : If I do another 5.7 Hemi-swap..I will go to the Junk yard -Pick a 2004 or 2005, Pickup truck with low miles..If it's NOT a U-Pull salvage yard then tell them to pull.
The "Complete" Motor & Transmission-From Fan to Driveshaft-
The computer-
The Transmission Cross member-
The Motor Mounts-
The The a/c Lines-
The Radiator and Hoses-
Get the fuel lines-
NVLD- Get the unit attached to the battery tray and the one under the truck in front of the fuel tank, along with all of the hoses that come from each vacuum detection unit..
"DON'T" FORGET ABOUT -The APPS Box "It's under the Battery Tray".Leave the throttle cable connected to the APPS Box.Unhook it from the peddle ...
Then Tell them you need "OR GET" the wiring harness..IF YOU CAN-Leave it attached to the Motor and transmission..But unplug it from the Computer- APPS Box- PDC,"Power Distribution Center"..That's the fuse box under the hood...Disconnect the 02-sensors.and the two plugs behind the left front wheel.That harness goes to the gas tank and hooks to the
NVLD System "Natural Vacuum Leak Detection".. IF you can- Get them to pull the fual pump..The reason I say this is- With my 4.7 I didn't have to change it "BUT" You have a 3.7 ?The pump might not be able to handle the consumption of fuel required by the 5.7 Hemi..
I think that's about all you'll need "IF" you were changing from a 4.7 or 4.9 you wouldn't need some of this stuff. But there's too much difference between engine size..
