sure it can be done but its not cost effective. Your best off just buying a different truck.

More headaches than it's worth. Time for a radiator-cap upgrade.

If the only goal is to have a "Hemi", get you check book out and contact your loan officer.

If your looking for more power, do a supercharge rebuild on the 4.7...less money, less complicated, and more power.

ya you could trade your truck in and it would be cheaper than doing the engine swap

Someday when my truck is paid off and I'm filthy rich I plan to drop in a 426 HEMI that is already supercharged and fuel injected. This will ONLY set me back about $25,000.
