Default 3.7 magnum v6 Hemi conversion

I just recently bought a '04 Dakota 3.7L V6. I was wondering if it would be possible and practicle to make it a Hemi. I have general knowledge of what a Hemi is but since this is my first Dodge im not too sure of its potential. If any one knows anything it would be a big help. Thanks.

It would be impracticle and pretty much impossible to make a 3.7 into a HEMI.

Yep pretty much impossible... Unless You lift the body off the frame, then you have to get the proper motor mounts which you probrably will have to make. You then have to redo all the engine wiring harnesses, New J-TECH, Radiator, Wiring harness adapters that probrably arent made yet. Gas Pedal and Circutry ( since the Hemi has a throttle selonoid not a cable, Basically the same idea as fly by wire ) and a whole lot more. Cheaper to just wait a year and buy a new one with one all ready there...


Sorry, not being smart just want you to see the true scale of what you are trying to do!!
