408 swap
01 ram 1500 5.9l 360 with auto 46re built trans
i just pulled the old stock 360 motor out
bought the 408 crate (the easy way out)

HOWEVER can one of you genius' let me in on a way to run this motor with my auto trans? also i want my gauges to work properly its an 2001. Sean from hemifever said he will write me up a tune to run this motor with my stock PCM or whatever but i want to know if i can still use my auto trans and stock gauges if not what would u guys do.

The Chrysler "A" engines predate even the LA engines....... Also note, that is a flat-tappet hydraulic cam..... Not roller as in the magnums. The A engines had wedge-shaped combustion chambers..... That engine is not compatible with any of the electronics, or even the magnum engine mounts.

The company he got this engine from has a short block Magnum engine so he would have to get heads from some where and reuse his intake or get an M1 or Air Gap.
Before you try to order any other engine how about you post a link up here for us and ASK if it is a LA or Magnum engine BEFORE you spend anymore money.
