BlownCorona Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Hi mopar experts. I have a quick questions, you can buy "project car" engine mount kits for the new gen 5.7 hemi engine for fuck all out of the states. now im putting the not so flash 4.7 dodge motor into my car, and wondered if anyone knows do they share the same block mounting pattern? as in could i use the 5.7 kit, bolt it to my 4.7 and weld it into the car. the internet hasn't been much help, but i did find out the 5.7 and the 4.7 use the same transmission, so a hemi swap down the line could be an option, especially if the mounts are the same.

BlownCorona Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 also does anyone here have access to the ecu wiring diagram/pinout for the 2009+ 4.7 v8s came out of a 2013 dodge ram 1500 2wd and has 3 plugs on the ecu, some seem to have 4 smaller plugs.

RUNAMUCK Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Those were actually a merc engine. So it's fairly unlikely theyll share much with their gen 3 hemi engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Ive been looking into them and im not convinced that true, it looks like the early engines were manufactured at Daimler. but a lot of resources on internet claim its a new Chrysler design, that said, it does appear to be a separate design from the 5.7 at any rate so i do doubt the mount kit will fit, although it may still be cheaper to mod the 5.7 kit than it is to buy all the parts on their own. are there universal mount kits available locally? also note the twin spark plugs i never noticed! 16 fucking spark plugs! im certainly no expert though, but this page has alot of info https://www.allpar.com/mopar/47.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I had wondered if they were any good. 4.7 v8 jeeps are getting pretty cheap now. More that likely they'll be less shit than a v8 range rover. (But probably still terrible in different ways because 'murica) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 the seem to go alright, not over quick in the truck, and who knows what the economy is like. dont suppose you have any contacts in the mopar world with access to wiring diagrams? Armstrong prestige told me they have then but wouldn't give them to me. cunts, i used to dish that info out no problem when i was at bmw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 The forum I'd try first is forabodiesonly.com if no one there knows, someone will know where you can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 cheers! i bought those hemi mounts anyway. for the money spent i probably couldn't get the mount bushes and weld in chassis side. so if i have to make a new engine side plate, or redrill, thats fine by me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Of all the forums I've looked at, that one has the most switched on people, and accurate information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 the dude helping me seems to have a direct line to the dodge system where ever he works. i asume a dodge dealership, or an auto sparky. ill dump all the info he gives me in my build thread once ive got it all and hopefully any other people can find that info that simply wasn't freely available. although he called my project ambitious... i told him thats how we like it in NZ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
