    Default Hemi Pcm on a 5.9L ?

    Just so i can use something like HP Tuners to tune my truck.
    Any thoughts? Like price of used pcm and wiring, 8 coil packs,
    Then the Software. About $400, probably more.

    It would cost more to make this work than just buying an aftermarket efi

    I think this would cost more than the benefits gained.

    I would use a fast EFI or one of the other stand-alone EFI setups. The price is dropping quickly as they are being cloned by competitors. I haven't done my homework, but FITech has one for $795.

    2 different bus and computer formats. You'd need the entire harness out of the donor vehicle at the very least.

    I realized that, maybe the 4.7 setup may be easier? This would only be feasible if i could get the pcm and harness etc from a boneyard.
    An aftermarket setup still may be a better option.

    Hemi & the 4.7 are more closely related. That's considered the "easy" swap

    Crank sensor would be the biggest issue, ATI can make you a balancer with a crank ring on it, it would be a $600 to $800 balancer with the crank ring option from the regular 4400 price tag. Then you would need some fancy mount for the crank sensor, then you would need a way to make the cam sensor work. Better off going aftermarket EFI, Like Casias said they have got very affordable now.

    I have done zero research, except this thread.
    So, 5.7 and 4.7 must have a crank sensor with much more teeth than our 5.9's have? I can see a definite problem there.
    I have see something aftermarket that used the dual sync. distributor, that would be simpler.
    What aftermarket setup should i look at?
    MS3? Holley efi? Fast? Or whatever i can find used?
