im wanting to swap out my 4.2 v6 for a 440 magnum what would i have to do to do this?

 

#1 you have to create an abortion of a truck


#2 you would need a dodge motor


#3 you need a transmission or adapter device


#4 you would need dodge powersteering pump, a/c, alternator, etc all of which would ahve to be adapted to the Ford system


#5 you would need all new guages and wiring


#6 a new driveline, shifter and related parts


#7 alot of cobbleing and messing around, dumping money into a truck you won't be able to legally register for road use...

 

thanks what engine would you recomend for my truck?

 

A built 5.4.

 

ecoboost 6.2L, you wont be dissappointed

 

x2

 

thank you and what would i have to do to make this engine swap

 

You might want to just buy a truck with the 5.4 already in it if you are going to rebuild the engine and tranny for power.

 

all i was wanting to do was buy a doner truck and swap the engine tranny and the drive shaft

thanks for the help everyone

 

Are you prepared to handle the computer and electrical issues too?

 

Anyone who has to ask how to do one of these swaps probably shoudnt even go there.
440 sounds cool. why not a built ford big block. Better engine and all.. More after market support just a better engine all around (429-460)

 

also how would i make the swap work because i dont no the first thing about swaping an engine

 

all im doing is asking for help and im doing it becase im not empressed with my 4.2 v6 at all im looking for better performance and i am going ta handle the electronic issues to

 

Do you have someone who does know about engines helping you??

 

By far, your best bet would be to sell your truck and buy one with the engine you want.
