Only thing is, 6.1 hemi's are set up for cars, the accessory set up is different....now I think there is a guy who converts 6.1s to 5.7 truck setup. I'll have to look. I've read there are some other differences that make it a tougher fit. While the 6.1 is a beast and would be awesome, the 5.7 is definitely plug and play.

 

Found it, email turboshelbydak@hotmail.com. I haven't tried it myself ($$$$). The most awesome would be the 6.4 (392 ci) they're talking about releasing as a crate engine (500+ hp!!)

HA! They actually posted on the forum, and I think they sell on eBay

so here's another question. is it worth the swap from a 4.7L to a 5.7L or should i just supercharge the 4.7L?

 

The 6.1L engine is on restriction but the 5.7 along with the pcm and harness should be ok.

I am currently stroking a 6.1(375ci) into a 6.8(413ci) that will be installed in a 2005 RCSB ram. Here is a pic of the engine.

 

The 5.7 with or without tranny is damn near a dime a dozen (maybe a coupla dimes...). I think it would be about the same $$ wise between a complete switchover and a good supercharger kit for a 4.7. I think (personally) you'll reach a point of diminishing returns with the 4.7. It's designed to be a truck motor even more than the 5.7 (long stroke, torquey)

AND I WANT DETAILS ON THAT BEAST YOU'RE MAKING, SRT10KLLR!!

 

Details, how about offset ground 6.1 crank, Manley rods & Ross 8.5:1 pistons for more(15-18lbs) boost.

 

so lonestar, you think that if i swap it out, in the end ill probably wish that i had just kept the 4.7L and supercharged it?

 

Just the opposite, be about the same power, but the hemi has so much more power potential (beyond the 340+ hp there already).

 

k. well after i get my 5.5" lift and 35" tires on the truck ill begin to look around for a used 5.7L and tell you guys how it worked out. ive got a pic of the truck the way it is now on my myspace.
