Be carefull though if you are considering a swap, I think the electrical connectors are different/ you don't use as many and it may screw with the computer to try and swap it

Yup and yup. The 46RE/RH will not bolt up to any of the newer Hemi engines. You basically need an entire donor vehicle, with an entire drivetrain and electrical components, like that PCM and wiring.

You need to use an RE in a 96. And ONLY one from a 96 or 97.
