mmmmmmm LS swap, im kinda bias though if you cant tell from my sig. But im just saying i think an LS swap would be better there is much more aftermarket for swaps then with the dodge motor. Plus you could use the 4l80e behind any LS base motor, they are very tough trans stock. GL

If you can get the complete engine, transmission, engine wire harness, and the ECM, it should not be that big of a deal if you have fab skills. With skill and a sizeable wallet, anything can be done.
