How hard is it to swap out engines? I have a blown 4.7L 01 Dakota and a friend has a 4.7L out of a 01 Dakota I can have. How hard is it to line up the engine with the AutoTrans? Anything special I should know? Im not worried about the rest, Im just worried about hooking it up to the trans (and the Torq. Conv.)

Thanks for any help,
Todd

It's not hard you just slide them together and put all the bolts in.

How did you end up with a blown engine anyway?

Not sure how the engine blew. I bought it for $800 and the body is perfect (inside and out). It is a black Regular Cab Motorsport Ed. The guy said he was always on it. I'm guessing more of bad maintance than anything; the oil is real bad. OD says 62,318 miles. Thanks for the replys. I am going to be tackling this project in the coming weeks.
