3.9 V6 swap to 4.7 V8 Engine

1997 Dakota SLT Ext Cab.

is it possible to put it in there with out fabricating my own mounts? and will the engine harness plug to the main harness on my truck?

The nv3500 is a manual tanny. Unfortunately the 4.7 cant be put in without a lot of work. You will need a engine and tranny,computer, wiring harness, mounts and im sure there is other stuff im missing. You can put in a 5.2 in place of the 3.9 but then again if you dont have the 44re tranny it really should get replaced. You prob have a 42re which only holds the v6 power. If you put a v8 in and are hard on it, in a year or so you will need to replace the tranny.

if i just do th 318 swap, could i change the torque converter to accomodate for it or better off with just changing trans?
just looked in the glove box and it says its got the 42re
and does it matter what vehicle i pull the trans out of? when i get a new one if need be
