Are you wearing a flame suit? If not, put one on right away. :D

It should be farely easy. You just have to source a SRT-6 Engine and set it in there. It's basically the same motor so all of the mounts are the same.

rrr I think hppd is the only one that has gone that route. Easier to do a v-8 swap I think.

HDDP did his swap into a manual transmission for racing and it was a real project to adapt the SRT engine to the MT.....

Dropping the SRT into an automatic should be pretty straight forward... also need the SRT ECU and need to reflash the TCU.... rear differential would also need to change to get the gear ratios to match for the TCU and ECU....hmmmmm maybe not quite so simple.....:( or cheap...

Off subject but what Eyebrows do you have installed mike?

Sell your car for 10500 buy an srt6 for 16-18k and you will still save money. Srt6 suspension and brakes are different and by different I mean better so for 6k to 8k you get about 10k worth of upgrades not to mention you get a car that was built the right way.

Thanks Mike, I like them more than the ones I currently have.

JMK41 is right.

Easiest way, and cheapest, is to swap engines.
Easiest way, and cheapest, is to swap bodies as well.

Buy and SRT. They are unbelievably cheap at $17-$19K.

If you want a faster Crossie,,,,,,Specificaly an SRT6,,,,,
Instead of trying desparately to get there.....Start there and go forward.

From an NA to an SRT, easy, took two days.
Flew there and drove back 1,500 miles straight through. My a$$ was killing me.
My son drove most of the way and then drove back to his home in his VW.
He did mention the SRT had lots of power.;)
He's not into cars or fishing. :rolleyes:

I'll bet you didn't even get your hands greasy.:p

I have done the swap from a N/A to the srt6 engine and if you don't have a complete donor car then it is not worth doing. All the modules need to be used or hack the ECU from the srt6 and reset the vin as well as some wiring to allow for the S/C pump and fuse as well as some other misc wiring mods. Also the rear end and transmission from the donor car needs to be used. It took me 3 months to do all the wiring using the harness from the donor car and all suspension parts incl the brakes. Basically move most of the parts that make an srt6 over to the N/A body.

It can be done and is an exciting wolf in sheep's clothing when you are done. Nobody should attempt this swap without some good knowledge of electrical systems and mechanical skills. If you do attempt this I can help with lessons learned and save some time and money with pointers if you need it.

Robert, I assume it is an auto trans?

Re: How can I swap my engine for a SRT-6 Engine?
 

Wouldnt it be easier to buy an SRT6 and change the spoiler, front bumper and wheels??..... much like FUBU did....:rolleyes:

Re: How can I swap my engine for a SRT-6 Engine?
 

You can assume it is an auto trans and yes that approach might be easier but the deal I got on the srt6 that had 7800 miles and the fact I can't ever seem top do anything the easy way define what direction I went with my conversion.

Ah hah!!!!!!!!

I think it's funny that someone asks you one thing but everyone who response tells you everything you didn't ask what's so hard about saying wow idk or good question maybe we should find out what the best way to do that is instead it's like no one has imagination anyone that if something is the way it is it can't be changed just because you can't do it or your to lazy doesn't mean that someone else can't do it or we can't go ask are Mommy and Daddy to drop 20 k on a new car how do u think cars end up being special because of people like us who try when you tell someone it's cheaper to just buy a srt6 it's like us telling you that your wife said you suck in bed get the point

I think it is funny that someone would bother to answer a seven year old thread and ignore newer thread on ideas on about engine changes.
Remember that this is an open forum and young children can access it so be careful about too much information on wife’s, beds etc.😀

:confused: Have you any idea how sentences are structured? There is a thing called a period (.) that breaks up run-on sentences. Try using those so people don't think your uneducated? :confused:
