A new engine won't help the tranny issues that will come with your dodge. (in reply to jacobvaley) Post #: 3

I dunno about 15k for a new Dodge w/hemi.  Maybe a newer one.  Anyhoo, this would be a time to find a wrecked donor, not go new.  If you can get the entire underhood section (engine, trans, harness, computers), then the hardest thing to do is sort out the wiring.  Also all depends on how mechanically inclined you are.  Fabbing mounts (engine, trans), custom driveshaft, etc., not for the inexperienced.  Wouldn't be cheap, either.  Would however, be a fun ride once sorted out. _____________________________ Sarcasm - it beats killing people...
