i have an 01 dodge ram with a 5.2 im wanting to pull it out and put a 5.7 hemi out of a newer dodge in it...is there a conversion kit if so where can i get it...but if not what all is this going to consist of...thanks for any info!!!

 

computer, vaccum lines... trannsmision unless you have the NV4500 stick shift... because the autos in that year dodge sucked enough with that low amount of power. there is probably alot more.

interesting sounding project though, just don't get a hemi with the MDS

 

I googled it and found your post on Truckin magazine forums lol. Basically, youll need what TXCharger said.

Other than that my only other concern would be maybe the gauges. Im sure the Hemi would put out a lot more hp than that 5.2.

You can probably find a motor/tranny/computer on ebay for your swap.

Good luck.

 

I know a guy here in arkansas who has a 5.7 outa an '04 1500. The truck had been rolled in '06 with 11,000 miles on it. He has EVERYTHING.Motor, harness, tranny, and all external engine componets except starter which you can get for about $250. It might be a trip to get it but he only wants $3500 for it so if you want his phone number just p.m. me.

 

Are the frame and chassis the same on the late model and second gen trucks? Might have some problems mounting the new powerplant in the older truck.

 

From what I've read, the '04 bolts up to the same holes as my '97.

 

Thats Awesome!

I wish it was that easy with my wifes camaro.

 

Yea it's not gonna be easy to get that Hemi in the Camaro! LOL JK

 

lol. Thats not what i meant. Were putting in a late model camaro powerplant into her early model.

 

I know what you meant, you're trying to put the wifes camaro in your Ram right? LOL
