I've contemplated replacing my 3.7 with a Hemi in my 2008 Nitro. Getting ahold of a salvaged Hemi, wiring harness, ECM and mounts out of a 2008 Charger isn't an issue. My concerns are the mods from the flywheel back to the rear diff and with the front suspension carriage. Especially the transmission and transfer case, I am also aware that the driveshaft will need shortened. Any direction on what should be focused on first?

Hello and welcome DEAnOH,

to the Nitro “Z” family!
This has been discussed a lot on the forum. But no one has done it yet.
If you had a NAG1 trany it would be a lot easier to do a swap as it mates up to the Hemi.
The real issue is going to be getting the computers to play nice with each other.
Anything can be done with enough $$$.
I'm looking forward to your future posts & Pics. We love Pics here!
We also like new Mod ideas.

Enjoy the forumZ.

Welcome to the forum! Good to have you here. Enjoy!

Like Scar0 said, The electronics will be your biggest issue with a Hemi swap.

Believe me, you'd be a legend around here if you ever pulled something like this off! Wishing you well in figuring it out. I always appreciate pioneers.

And just to be a parrot, the biggest limiting factor on the Nitro is and always will be the electronics. They are basically intertwined with everything.
