Can I put a 4.7 magnum engine that came from a manual into my automatic?
Hey y'all, just joined the fourm!
I apologize if this is a stupid question, I tried researching this exact question everywhere but couldn't seem to find an answer. I'm very mechanically inclined but am straight up dumb when it comes to engines. Anyways, unfortunately the engine blew on my 2005 1500 a few days ago, I've already got the old one out and am now on the search for a used engine. I found a super nice 4.7 for a good price, but it's a manual. If i buy an 4.7 engine that came from the manual dakota, can i put it in my auto transmission 1500? Would i just need to swap the flywheel, or would I have to mess with the bell housing as well?
Thanks!

I should also mention that the engine I’m looking at is the same year as mine, it also has the same 8th digit VIN as mine. Does anyone know if the reluctor wheels would be the same? Or is it just a toss up?

Yes. The only problem switching between types of transmissions is when you want to put an automatic engine in a manual. Not all automatic engines are machined for the pilot shaft. A manual engine will work fine.
