Default Engine awap

So while at the auction the other day I picked up a non running 4x2 ram 1500 SWB reg can. Looking for a vehicle to fool with as I haven't much to work on these days I figured id take the gamble on it.
Its a 3.7 six banger automatic trans. I am thinking of putting in a larger motor perhaps a hemi 5.7 how hard of a job is this and im guessing in addition to the computer and engine harness I will also need to upgrade the transmission I guess it would be best to see if I can score a running driving collision total as a parts truck?
Ideas suggestions?

Being I didn't get any answers despite 138 views maybe someone can answer here
