Maybe a silly question, but what's wrong with the one you have?

The engine itself should be the same. The upper intake plenum and accessories maybe different but can be swapped out no problem. Also, the 01's had a diff crank sensor than the 02's 16vs 32, but that should be much of a concern. not sure what te rams had in 02? Also, the 5.7's are the same price as the 4.7's.

Look for the new 300hp version! (Don't know if you can use it though).
