Many have done this swap on 02-05, but I don't think anyone has tried it with a CANbus 06+.

Yes I did look but nothing for 08+. The hemi has better resale and little better power. Some stuff I can't find is the frame mounts the same for both motors just needing different motor mounts that's all I can think of that would be needed to swap the hemi in
