I'm not seeing a lot on this subject but from what I can tell swapping my 3.7L out of my '04 Dakota would not be an issue. Aside from the normal wiring and exhaust issue it doesnt look too hard.

Any comments or suggestions before I start? I am looking at doing this as soon as it starts to warm up, say 1st part of March.

Thanks in advance

Also, when i reference a 4.7 on car-part.com what is the difference in the "with or w/o front carrier mounted LH rear cylinder block"?

 

You're looking at a complete engine and transmission, wiring harness, engine mounts, PCM swap... probably more....someone else will chime in.
