I have a line on an 07 5.7L hemi with the stock wiring harness as well as a stand alone "hotrodder" wiring harness. This aftermarket wiring harness is the ticket to an easier install maybe? It is still OBD 2.0 compliant, will work with a programmer. How do you go about wiring the hemi in with your stock wiring harness? I can get the motor and both wiring harnesses as well as motor mounts, fan, all of the engine components for $3500.00. This engine has approx 35,000 Km's, (22,000miles).

 

well off hand i know you need to pretty much cut both engine mounts in half weld them together modify the oil pan then on the wiring harness you need to get schematics for both vechicals then you will splice both harnesses together once you match up the wires between the two harnesses thats what i know off hand im sure other will be able to thow there in on this also

 

What I don't get is the durango came with a hemi...the durango was based off the Dak frame, right? Why did they make it so dang hard to do a motor swap?

 

you know what thats right thats for the second gen i dont see why you cant find a wrecked durango and pull the engine wireing harness from the durango and probley the oil pan cause of the front end is most likley diffrent thats just off the top of my head that i can think of oh and probley the motor mounts if you could cut them out of the frame

 

The durango was the same as the second gens but in 2003, everything changed from what I can tell. Ive tried comparing shocks, brake pads, suspenstion components; its all different. I think the only thing that was the same between the dakota and durango for a few years was the grille. Lol
