you would need the engine and transmission for the hemi, and the computer too.

Agreed, the engine, trans, drive shaft and all the harness's and a lot of patience. If i were to do a full conversion like that I would do a CTD

CTD is a bit heavy for the 1500 front end I would think, and I don't know how well the 9.25 rear will hold up to all of that torque on a daily basis even though it is used in the front of a 2500 4x4.
