Can't help you on the motor mount question, but for future reference here's a little math lesson.

1 liter = 1,000 cubic centimeters (or cc's)
1 cubic inch (ci) = 16.387 cc's
1 cc = 0.061 ci

Therefore:

360 ci's = 5899 cc's = 5.9 liters

When doing the math, also remember that manufacturers round off cc's to publish their engine sizes in liters. So if you only know the number of liters of displacement, that will get you in the ballpark for the correct number of cubic inches , but it may not be exactly right. Using chevy as an example: The old LT-1 V8 was a 350 and was advertised as a 5.7 liter. It had 5735 cc's. The new LS-1 V8 (346 ci's) is also advertised as a 5.7 liter, with 5670 cc's. Both are correctly labeled as 5.7 liter engines even though there is a difference of 65 cc's between the two.

Stroke x (3.1415 x radius of the bore squared). Multiply this by the number of cylinders you have. If you use the bore and stroke in inches you get cubic inches etc. 61 cubic inches in a liter. Manu. do a lot of rounding when expressing engine size in liters.

Would the original question possibly be refering to dimensions instead of displacement? I think he's trying to determine what will fit in the engine compartment.

Message:
if it has the 4.7 stick with a 4.7 or 5.7 hemi because of trans compatibility. If it has the 3.9 you can bolt in a 5.2 or 5.9 to that trans but be aware the v8 in front of a v6 trans results in boom.

the bell housings are the same for all mopar small blocks so 3.9, 4.7,5.2, 5.7 and 5.9 share teh same bell housing pattern but their computer controllers do not always work with each other's transmission options.

This goes out Richard. It appears we have the same
problem with our 2000 Dak. 4.7. I looked into the
same thing, switching from 4.7 to 5.9. 5.9 is half
the price$$$. You can BUT you also have to change
everything else, such as computer modules, sensors,
wiring harness etc. LOL. HUGE undertaking and lots
of money$$$ to do. It would be cheaper to buy and
install a brand new reman. 4.7. So unless your rich
and don't care about $$$, then NO.
