Engine Swap
I own a 2013 dodge charger SE 3.6L.
I also own a 5.7L engine out of a 2006 Dodge Charger R/T.
What do I need in terms of other parts and pieces will I need to swap them, even if it would be possible.
please be descriptive.

1. Why would you post this question in the SRT section?
2. Anything is possible with enough money and know how/ability (the more you have of the latter the less you need of the former).
3. Short answer no, that 2006 engine isn't gonna work in your 2013. That engine is from two generations of CAN bus prior. Even trying to put in a 2011-14 (same generation as your car, but a very different 5.7) 5.7 into your car wouldn't be easy for the average mechanic, much less average person. Transmission, all kinds of wiring harnesses, computer modules, the ability to program said modules, etc etc.
4. You want a hemi car, ditch the six banger and go get one.
