Default 2005 Dodge 1500 Hemi replacement

Working on a 2005 Dodge 1500 - with Hemi - that needs to be replaced.
I currently have a beautiful low mileage 5.7/Hemi from an 04 1500 - but according to Wreckers info/EDEN - Block is different ? Heads seem to be the same !

If the 04 motor came from a DURANGO - it would have been compatible.

What are the SHORT BLOCK issues that make this 04 engine that I have incompatible ?

The 04 5.7 block & heads are the same as 05. You'll be fine with that.
