This is the first start video of my 98 Ram 1500 that i swapped a 5.7 Hemi into. Fired right up first try and is running good so far. My build thread for my swap is here www.dodgetalk.c...
@kdelaney- I ended up just using the stock 2wd hemi mounts (2wd and 4x4 hemis have different motor mounts) I'm more than happy to help answer any questions I can. Theres a link to my build thread for the truck in the video description above. @Moses- check engine light was on because of the EVAP system. I needed to upgrade the EVAP system to the one from the newer trucks, which I picked up this summer and got swapped in just before the truck went into storage for the winter but it did clear my check engine light now. As for the key I'm using my original key still. There can be problem with chip keys since some PCMs have a security system which requires the chip key. I bought brand new custom flashed PCM from the guy that built my wiring harness so I didnt have to deal with the chip keys. He even programmed the VIN number for my truck into the PCM so it matched the truck.

I used the whole engine and trans out of a newer ram then had shipped the wiring harnesses out of my truck to hotwireauto.com. They built me custom harnesses and PCM to run the hemi in my truck. The only reason the check engine light was on is because of the EVAP system. I needed to upgrade to the newer system but never got around to making it work. Going to talk to the hotwire auto guys again and see if they can just flash the EVAP system stuff out of the PCM for me while the truck is parked this winter.

Thanks man!! The truck is still a never ending project of mine. As for getting the newer 20's to fit I was running 1.25" spacers and smaller dust caps on the front to get them to fit. But I took the rims to a local machine shop this year and had them bore the center of the rims out bigger so they will fit without the spacers now. Only downside to doing this was now the dust caps stick out of the center of the rims but nobody even seems to notice.

I honestly coulent give you a final costbto do this swap since did so many other changes and upgrades at the same time. Also cost will depend on how much $$$ you need to spend on an engine and trans. Basic list of parts that i can remember needing are: engine, trans, 00-01 dakota gauge cluster, APPS pedal (replaces your stock gas pedal), PCM, wiring harness (I had hotwireauto.com build my harness and program the PCM for me) those are the big parts thatbi can remember right now.
