Message:
man i am sick of the 3.9...is there a swap kit for the 4.7, the 5.2, or even the 5.9? if so would i just order the kit somewhere and then order an engine from dodge? even better, do they make a swap for the hemi to fit gen3 daks?

have you tried talkin to dodge? no i dont mean the dealer, those guys dont know their own a$s from a hole in the ground, but the actual company? as a mopar performance sale item they may be interested in developing that, you never know, maybe you could be their guinea pig.



hope so

hell yes, i would put a hemi in my truck if i had the money. but as far as a 318, that will bolt in and you just have to change the computer and add two wires for injectors. motor mounts and all other connections are the same. fan shroud will need to be changed or modified. but thats about it i think, if its a manual you will need the v6 flex plate. but i believe thats everything. goodluck
