sure, there are plenty of rams with hemis and it's the same motor so it should fit. but you would be much better off just trading the truck for a hemi truck. or if you are doing it just for performance, you're better off just making mods to the 4.7. it really is a peppy motor for it's size, and can be brought close to stock hemi levels with a few modifications.

I have an 05 qc 4.7 and mine has done me right since day one ,but i service it every 5,000 miles front to back and the only mods i have done is k&n filter and flowmaster 50 series muffler. It sounds good but not so loud as to draw attention from the popo{police}.
