Hey DF world,
I was wonder if its possible to swap the 5.7 hemi motor into my 94 ram? If possible what all is needed, I would like to keep my nv3500 5 speed in it. I have the entire 2006 dodge ram for parts.
Thanks for any info in advanced.

 

NV3500 will bolt up but won't last 100 miles.

Here is what you need:
Pedal amenity with the box
Computer
Engine
02 Dakota Gauge Cluster
Driver side engine mount needs to be cut deeper about 1/2"
Custom Engine Harness using both your and the Hemi Computer

That's about it

 

Which trans would be best to swap with, with still being able to keep my dana 44, if i need to swap it to an automatic trans i can.

Nv4500

 

Am i able to use the same bell housing? Or does the entire trans need to be replaced? What about the transfer case will it still bolt up?

 

Would i need to get a special adapter plate to mount the engine to the trans? Would i be able just to swap the core from the nv3500 to the nv4500 without swapping the bell housing? Also if i did swap the 35 to the 45 would my t case still mount up to it?

 

No same bolt pattern. What do mean by core? Also depends on the transfer case they came with different spline counts depending on the motor.

 

Someone makes the harness for this swap but it's like a grand.

 

Yes HotWire does. I originally am building my own. Really simple piggyback setup nothing to over difficult. Taking CCD to PCI or CAN BUS
