On sale I guess, haha.

You should have put the buggy in the rack after you got done loading them. It could roll off and hit someones car!

After I came to my senses I realize I don't need 3 5.7's. Two of them are going up forsale if anyone is interested. They are both brand new fully assembled never fired 09 truck motors. One has a cracked air cleaner is missing the balancer and is missing a sensor Id like to get 2200 for it. The other is all good looking for 2500.

WOW! New from Chrysler new, or rebuilt motor new? You should list them in the for sale section under All Hemi motors. You should be able to get the one you're keeping to be able to run in your wagon after you spend 4 to 5 more grand. Headers and motor mounts will be about a grand. Wiring harness and ECM from Hotwire will be close to 2 grand by the time you get the drive by wire stuff. New gas tank with an in tank pump will be close to a grand. Since it's a B-body, you might get lucky and be able to use Jeep Grand Cherokee exhaust manifolds to save some money. If your wagon has power steering, and you want to keep it, you will have to swap to a GM pump that won't blow the guts out of you PS box. You could call Bouchillon Performance in SC, and talk to them about the swap. They sell tons of stuff to do it, and know all the tips and tricks from experience. Good luck with the swap. Looking forward to reading about the progress.

If you are talking about the engines in the back of your truck those are not 09 truck engines. The engines in the back are 03-05 truck/durango engines. You can tell by the coil and the intake.

Maybe you have some other ones. I just wanted to make sure know one tried to sell you a bill of goods. I had a guy in Michigan tell me had 3 6.1s forsale. None of them were 6.1s. They had all kinds of crap missing, etc.

Needless to say I was a little disapponted.


Interested in having you car wired? Drag car, street car, EFI swap? PM for details

I need to check what year they are the guy said he thought 09. They where brand new form chrysler. He said they where geting the 10 at a time for use in drag boats. These where what was left over. I would like to use a in tank pump but I don't think it would work in the wagon tank they set vertical in the one quater panel.

Dang! I forgot about the location of wagon tanks. You could use an external pump right next to the tank. You'll just have to make a bigger pickup tube, and leave the sock off of it. Be careful of what the micron rating is of any external filter you would use. EFI filters need a different rating than carb motors if I remember correctly. Just be careful to not let the fuel level get below a quarter tank, and the fuel slosh with no baffle may not be an issue.
