hey i can get a free 4.7 or 5.7 hemi. i was wondering if anyone has swapped a v8 into their v6? i know it sounds stupid to mess with all that when i can just go buy one with a v8 but i can get one for free. if anyone knows anything about it or knows a friend that knows about it id like to know thanks guys

 

I don't know much about it but make sure its legal as far as the DMV is concerned

 

oh im not worried about them where i live they dont look at that stuff. so you dont know anything about it? if its going to be a big hassle i dont want to do it. are the trannys in the v6 the same in the v8s? will i have to get new motor mounts? i know ill have to get a new wiring harness for the engine, but can i just unplug it from the computer and plug the v8 computer and wiring harness together i just have alot of questions that id like ansewred before i start. i want to know what to do exactly before i dig in

 

where can you get a free V8 and can i get one too!
i think the trannys are different. we have a four speed auto or 5 speed manual and the V8s have a 5 speed auto or 6 speed manual for the 4.7

 

Swapping to the 4.7 may be the easiest since the 3.7 is essentially the same minus 2 cylinders. I don't know about the details, you might want to try asking in the 3rd gen forum for more info or maybe another dodge forum.

 

no the tranny's should be the same

 

i would think that the tranny's would be the same since its a full size truck. if i was going to swap a 4.7 in i might as well swap a 5.7 hemi in it. im just wndering if i can swap the computer and the engine bay wiring harness. i guess the part that makes the trucks run on 4 cylinders is built in to the computer? i dont know if that would be a problem

 

swap a 4.7 in my opinion.

and if u could get it for free...throw that bitch on an engine stand, and build it p. you can probably get 340 hp out of it.

 

What he said. get it and build that **** up. You can get impressive numbers out of the 4.7 with the right things done to it. If you can get one you should talk to Airram about what to do. He is the God of 4.7's

 

why the 4.7 and not the hemi i think i would rather have the hemi. i still need to find out how to swap it before i get one to though
