I see this thread is 3yrs old, there must be at least a few people that have done this swap and kept 1/2 decent track of the costs?
I'm really interested in doing this as well, not necessarily worried about pinching every penny, would just like a pretty good estimate going in.
From past experience, I would add anywhere from 25-50% to the cost depending on the level of detail given.
1970 Dodge Dart, rust free and road ready - $6000
2006 5.7 Hemi with 62kmi (traded for a 72 Dart I was asking $2000) - $2000
Gas pedal - free with engine ($100 at hotwireauto.com)
Dodge Ram 5 speed auto 545rfe - $350 shipped to door (car-parts.com)
Wiring harness for eng/trans combo - $995 (hotwireauto.com)
Used computer programmed for set up - $300 (hotwireauto.com)
Motor Mounts for my HemiDenny K-Frame - $170 Shipped
Milidon oilpan - $209
oil pick up tube - $78
Jeep SRT8 exhaust manifolds - $200 used
Total cost around $2,300 plus the price of the engine you use.
