this is my first engin swap and i am a new dodge fan, is there a difference in the wiring from the v6 i had in to the 440 or will it work, and will i have to buy a painless wiring kit to do the job easier?

thanks.

well... you can use your factory starter... so that will keep that working fine. For the ignition, get a mopar performance electronic ignition kit... it will have all the wiring you will need. To keep your gauges working.. just swap the factory water temp and oil pressure sending units over to the big block. I dont know what alternator you have on the V6 so i dont know what to recommend for it. I bought an aftermarket single wire (internal regulator) alternator.

6.6 Lt. Big Block, 727 TF shift kit, 452 heads, edelbrock 750 cfm, .513/.513 284/300 crower cam, comp cams springs, comp cams pushrods, 1.5 roller rockers, dp intake, mopar ignition, mopar windage tray, dual exhaust w/ 40 series flowmasters, 4.10 gears, coilover drag suspension, approx, 3500 lbs
