Hey Guys !

I'm new here, I have a 2002 Ram 1500 4X4 auto and was thinking of doing a swap to a 2003 Hemi, if I can. But I don't know what all I need. I have the wonderful 4.7 !

Has anyone done this swap or have any suggestions ?
I appreciate all thoughts. Glad to be here.
 
Thanks for the reply DodgeAddict. I haven't had any trouble with the 4.7 as of yet, ( 70,000 miles ) just thinking ahead because of all the horror stories on the web. Seems that oil sludge is a problem. I did have some when I first got the truck. After a break in period, I switched to synthetic, to me it's 10 times better. Where I worked, that's one of the products we made. Not expensive if you do it right, what people don't realize is syn. oil doesn't break down, just gets dirty. If you could filter the acidic build up out of it, you probably wouldn't have to completely change it at all.
