2005 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 5.7 Hemi Magnum swap?
What years 5.7 hemi Magnum are
interchangeable with a blown 2005 5.7 Hemi
Magnum?
I bought a 2005 Ram 1500 SLT with a 5.7 l Hemi
Magnum engine in it. Unfortunately it sounds
like it was entered into a demolition derby and
run out of oil and coolant for died.
It still runs but there's a whole lot of rocking
going on and it sounds / feels like an
earthquake and that any of the connecting rods
etc could come blowing through the block if you
rub the engine not to mention endless thick
smoke
Assuming it's not repairable and that an engine
swap would be much cheaper for me to do
myself I'm just going to see if there was any
input about which US were compatible without
changing or modifying since there are
modifications to some of the 5.7 Hemi
produced.
Yes, I will do it myself and yes, I have done it
before. Just looking for answers too
compatibility questions so it's a smooth
transition.
More than likely the block could be toast unless
somebody thinks they can run without coolant
oil for an unsustained period of time till the rings
and The seals blow as well as the bearings.
Right now I still runs great just don't give it any
gas or your cloud the neighborhood it was
smoke in the engine might blow apart lol
Thank you
