I've looked and looked and haven't found much. I've got a 98 1500 4x4 w a very tired 5.9, basically I just wanna see if anyone has swapped a 6.1 into a truck and wut it would entail such as what kinda trans, would the 47re bolt up? Just some info if anyone knows would be appreciated. If not ill be in the market for a wrecked 24v Cummins lol thanks for lookin!

 

Nobody?

 

6.1 cummins?

 

Or Hemi??

 

i have done the hemi swap. it was a 2005 5.7 with a 6.1 intake all stock but we used the full power train and it was alot easier. the semi easy part is building the motor mounts and you have to modify the tranny mount as well. but the really hard part is wiring. i swaped out the whole dash but you can splice the wires. doing the dash swap you will meed to cut into the fire wall though and modify that. it is a real pain in the *** to do the swap this is why i say you have to really want a hemi. like really want it. im presently working on a supercharged 2006 392ci hemi to put into my 97. 8k in and the engine is almost done. then comes tranny and t case. like i said, you really have to want it. easiest is to freshen up your 5.9. their pretty easy to build at a decient price. my present 5.9 is sitting at 434 bhp and I only spent 3k on it doing the machining myself. ive seen the lower end stock on the 5.9 hold close to 700hp. i wouldnt push it myself and rather upgrade. it just depends on what you want to do because the hemi swap is a very serious and aggravating process.

 

I didn't know there was such a thing as a 6.1 Hemi!!

 

Should be what's in the Challenger SRT8, or at least one of the options.

 

2009-2010 srt8 models had the 6.1, 2011 and up have the 6.4.

 

Well whatever is what on engines...there isn't a 47re in a 98....

 

I'd think you can stick a 6.1L Hemi and it's mate in a Dodge Ram, with whatever fabrication work is required. The hard part will be getting that beast to run!
