Hello I’m trying to find out what interchangeable options I have. Currently I have a 2015 dodge charger with a 3.6. Engine rear wheel drive. Mine decided to throw two rods so now I'm stuck trying to find a replacement. After looking around, I found some direct replacements however, there are a little bit higher than my current budget. I do see some other options, such as an engine out of a Dodge Caravan, Chrysler 200 and i would like to know if i could make it work since they are both 3.6 pentastar engines.
i’m aware that I would probably have to change the motor mounts, front timing cover, oil pan and valve covers etc. I have done a lot of reading and know that after 2015 some changes were done so I’m going to try to stick between 2011 to 2015 engines. Does anyone know if I could make it work by switching such items or is it completely impossible? Would i have issues bolting up the transmission? Thank you and i appreciate anyone’s assistance/ feedback.

 

I would try to find one out of a 2018 Dodge Charger

 

The rear drive and front drive 3.6's are built a bit differently. Look for any 3.6 out of a Charger, Challenger or 300.
