I think you are making more of a comment and plan more than a question. But if you have the time and funds and can do the work yourself then sure. I would do that.
I'm pretty sure that the belhousing patterns are the same. My only concern is if the deck heights are the same so you could use the Ram 5.7L intake on the 6.1L.
