Also, what the heck happened to the mid size truck segment? Compact trucks are not as heavy as my truck was. Man, if I had it, I would've loved to remove the 4.7 and put in a hemi. Then who knows if the nv3500 and axles would've handled the power. lol Project cars are money pits.

I tried to navigate your site for a first gen Durango swap kit. Will you be making a swap kit for the first gen Durango? I’ve owned my ‘03 since ‘07 and it’s been good to me, but I would like to have a 5.7 Hemi in mine. I currently have the inefficient and powerless 4.7. My ex ran it for a hundred thousand miles in 4 years, low on oil. Gave it back with worn rings and blown everything. I’ve done all I care to with rebuilding, but at 204,000 miles, it’s pointless to keep throwing money at it. It runs great, but it definitely has reduced compression and efficiency. I remember the day I bought it with 40k miles and the front end lifted up as I peeled out of the lot. The good old days lol. Now I get 9mpg for an engine with low compression and only 225hp, or less, that lost its “oomph.” A 345 hemi with 390HP and 10+ MPG would be worth the swap to me. A 392... even better 😜

Itd be a waaaay easier to do hemi swap on a 3rd gen. You don't even need any swap kits, you just need the engine and ecu. The 4.7 and 5.7 hemi use the same trans and same style ecu. Now I kind of wish my rt was a 4.7 because all I'd need is the headers and engine mounts and I'd be pretty set. I wouldve saved myself like 6-8 grand alone.
