2001 dodge ram 1500 extended 360 5.9 brand new upgraded 46re trans

i wanna do a motor swap my local machine shop is 8 weeks behind so i was thinking to buy a eddlebrock crate or somthing similar. anyone have any suggestions? my budget is $4,000 i live on the east coast im trying to get it done within this month. shooting for 400hp but give me some suggestions, i know it sounds crazy but i pulled the motor today it would be too easy to buy a crate and swap it.

 

Since you're on the east coast this guy is right up your ally.

He sells a short block or long block engine and is your best bet IMHO.

While you're at it you should just get a 408 instead or a 360 if your tranny will handle the power.

 

Fleabay...................$2,995 350 HP +, Crate 360. With shipping (turnkey it says).

Listing is BUY IT NOW. Good luck

 

thanks i checked them out i like there stuff but could i go ahead and buy a crate off summit? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ml...ons/make/dodge for 5200 that 445 horse i def want the 408 but will it bolt up to my trans? i believe it would since its the mopar 360 block just with the 408 kit

 

yeah the 408 will bolt up to your tranny might last a little while unless you have beefed up your tranny but if not youll be doing another rebuild before to long

 

The torque output of whichever motor you decide would greatly influence just how "built" the 46RE needs to be.

What kind of upgrades have you done?

 

That motor is an LA Block. Not sure if it will bolt in place of the Magnum blocks.

 

It will bolt right in, but, doesn't have provisions for the crank sensor, the intake bolts are at a different angle, etc. For our trucks, that is NOT a drop-in engine.

 

upgraded steels, upgraded clutch, torque converter, and some other stuff i had a guy build it i told him i was getting a 4-500 horse motor so he said ok and he told me he made it bulletproof i know they guy so he said bring it back whenever if i have a problem
