Thread: 2007 5.7 hemi in a 1998 Dakota?

    Default 2007 5.7 hemi in a 1998 Dakota?

    I've been kicking around the idea of putting a 5.7 hemi in my 1998 Dakota that currently has a 5.2 in it now. This is a 4x4 and I would like tho put the 5.7 hemi and the 4x4 transmission behind it in the Dakota. How hard would this be since the hemi is a newer more computer controlled engine and so is the transmission. I have a totaled 4x4 5.7 hemi donor truck that still runs and drives. Is this a doable transplant?

    If you have a whole donor truck then it should be pretty "easy". I think Schumacher makes motor mounts for the swap. Trans mounting you'll probably have to fabricate. There a few hemi dakotas out there already. I'm building a 5.7 for my dakota.
