Can I fit a 5.7l hemi motor and transmission from a 2004 dodge ram 1500 in a 1995 dodge ram? What all will have to be changed?? Any help would be much appreciated!

Pretty much the whole drivetrain plus computers, wiring harnesses, instrument cluster, etc. Putting and obd2 in an obd1 vehicle involves a bunch of things.

It will drop right in to anything that originally had it as an option. Dropping a hemi into a spot where it never came in from the factory is a major undertaking.

so hey guys a little update, found a organ donor. 2004 dodge ram 1500 with blown motor, tranny is good in it to,gonna go check it out this weekend. Only difference is it has a 4.7 instead of the 5.7, do they have the same computer and wiring harnesses? And do they have the same transmissions? I still have the transmission out of my totaled dodge is that's a problem.. I appreciate any and all knowledgeable help, I'm kinda teaching myself as I go along I work on my own vehicles, but this is taking it to new depths for me! Thanks again you guys

I *think* the engine will bolt up to the trans, but, if the trans in your truck is better/meaner/badder/more, I would be tempted to swap 'em both. Not 100% sure, but, I think you will need to change the wiring harness, and PCM as well. (and then have it flashed to the correct vin, so it won't complain about it.)
