- 2002 quad cab Dakota fitted with a 2004 Ram 5.7 HEMI! Originally was a 4.7 auto, now 5.7 with the same 45-rfe auto trans. Can you say SMILES per gallon? Will be for sale shortly.

You could do this with the stock 2004 4.7 computer. It will run the Hemi, just splice/lengthen the connectors with a donor harness from a hemi truck. Literally about 16 wires to buttsplice/solder and re-loom then you're done. As long as it was an NGC with a 32 tooth tone wheel, the 4.7 PCM can be retuned to run the hemi.
FrenicX Would that work with the 4.7 in an 05 also?
I have an 2004 Dodge ram hemi with computer and wire. Just need help wiring the whole truck to my 2001 2wd Dakota
I got a 2003 QC, 4.7 V8, I'm looking into doing this swap. can you give me an approximate budget you got this made with? thanks!
Nice hemi engine and with 6.4 🔥go flay bro
I was wondering how you Got the Fly by wire to work. When the Dakota is a Cable Driven Throttle Body.. That's the only thing that is keeping me From jumping on this with my 04 Crew Cab 4x4 Dakota with the junky 4.7..
I have looked at the BBK 80mm Cable Driven Hemi 5.7L/6.1L/6.4L Performance Throttle Body 1791 But have not found out what TPS and IAC it takes and I have emailed BBK with no help from them.. And the $350 bucks just seem like a lot to spend on a gamble as to if it will work or not..
4.7 and 5.7 have basically the same combustion chamber. After driving a hemi I still take my H.O. I'd be worried about the 45rfe
Cool truck! Royce is happy.
I have a $200 2001 Durango 4x4 non 2wd option with 4.7... I have not checked yet but it should be the 16 tooth.
I need someone to guide me through a swap. I hear the 5.7 hemi can be swapped. Someone online claims you can use a ram trans module to get extra mpg.
Someone is selling a 2014 hemi 5.7 with a knock. I hear that might not swap.
sorry for the loaded comment.
Otherwise would the 6.1 also swap in?
we think do something like that but in a dodge van b250 original is 3.9, ill be need a modification in a motor mounts?
thanks, amazing job!
That's funny you swapped your chrome grille, I swapped my chrome bumper, but only because it was too expensive.
How much did you get the 5.7 for and where at? And how much did you pay for labor if you don't mind me asking. Thanks, in advance.
Same make and model of my truck. Can you provide details as to what was needed to get it done?
So far for me,forums are more confusing then helpful.
How did the stock trans handle the Hemi? I'm thinking with a shift kit and better converter it'll hold up good. Did the bell housing bolt right onto the Hemi block or did you need a new bellhousing? Wanting to do this swap on my 04
Did you half to change transmissions also ? Or did it bolt up to factory ? Did you half to modify engine bay to fit ? Cutting welding etc ?
Denny Hyer same trans original to the Dakota, 2wd under engine crossmember has to be modified to clear oil pan, full custom mounts fabbed, neat thing is that with the dakota 4.7 computer the trans is 4 speed...same trans and the 5.7 computer makes it 5 speed! Love Mopar engineering!
im in middle of my 01 quad cab 4.7 to 5.7 swap. what did you do for oil pan clearance over cross member, rack and pinion and front differential?
What a wonderful machine you got there man, hope it gives you many years of enjoyment. Have you considered any exhaust work? You could give it a more aggressive tone and still have good street manners.
Should I buy a remanufactured 4.7 or 5.7? Did you ever get to test fuel mileage?
yes it will!
does it have to be a hemi engine with 4x4 to keep it 4x4
+Christopher Pitts no it can be a 2wd engine ,ok will just need a 4wd oil pan and
oil pickup I believe. I think the. 4wd is even easier than the 2wd, the frame and suspension s wider where the engine sits. go to dakota-durango.com and look at dontshoot69's posts...he threads are what got me motivated to do mine! excellent write ups.also there are members on there that sell the 4wd motor mounts and oil pans...already modified!
xlr8x2 and
@@xlr8x2 Hi, I am looking to do the swap in my 04 QC Dakota 4x4.
Is it possible that you could point me in the direction of someone who may sell 4x4 engine mounts for the swap? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thats sick mine only has a 4.7l engine that thing goes eh
very interested in the engine swap I have 2003 quad cab 4x4 can it be done
I have a 2002 Quad Dakota but its manual with a 3.9l. I want a V8. :-(
@Phu Doan pretty much. The 239, 318, 360, are the grandchildren of the indestructible Chrysler Light-A engine family. If you want a torquey engine that will run for a million miles a 318 block is the way to go.. To swap a 3.7/4.7/5.7 into it he would need a whole new transmission with the computers to control it. Over all price would be about the same as buying a LSX 427 and throwing a T56 in it. lol aka pointless swap.
I do bunch of 3.5s in 2.7s Charger,Magnums,300s, so 5.7s in 4.7s are fairly simple..
So you put engines in cars that already come with those engines...and you think it's the same as fitting an engine in a vehicle that was never offered in that chassis. Just clarifying...?
Hey can I get some info on your swap I got a 03 4.7l club cab Dakota I want to do this ASAP motor is on it's way out
did u ever fo the swap?
4.7 as well
see I have the one with awd and if I swap in the 5.7 will it bolt up to my trans?
Yea it will if you have an adapter plate
hi can u help me out i went to do this swap in a 2000 dodge durango that had a 4.7 and the 45rfe trans can you put me in the right spot
I’m looking to do the same. Ever find anything?
What problems dis you run into do the swap
are those the cruise control buttons on the floor?
Jamie ,yes they are! it was a simple solution when at the time 04 up ram steering wheels with air bags and clocksprings were bringing 400 dollars used. and the dakota protocol for cruise is waaay different.
Are you still wanting to sell this truck? Clean install!
Did it sell? If not what do you want for it? Awesome job! I need it!
Derek B yeah, it sold pretty quick...thanks for the compliments!
how hard was the swap
Nice
Just buy this one!! i used durango-dakota - dontshoot69 's build thread for 95% of my inspiration. you will need truck hemi , acc drive, harness, computer,2004 dak fuel pump assy, basic cutting and welding skills, and more advanced wiring and diagram reading skills. not too bad though!!
not bad at all
It's probably cheaper to buy a ram now.
Ryan Maiese
And way less fun to drive.
Mine was 2wd
Did you have to fabricate any motor mounts?
Where ru located? and how much is it?
Did u use the trans from the hemi?
What ac lines did you use ?
