The wire harness and PCM will be the two biggest issues. Motor mounts should be ok. Check out dodgedurango.net for any how to guides.

Ninja, I was going to mention that, but if he swaps over everything, engine/trans, harness, computer it shouldn't matter. 4.7s in Durangos switched from 16 to 32 in 2002 making any swaps across that year require a computer swap or reprogram. It's just swapping out computers is when you run into the antitheft wall.

the donor Durango has everything intact but the transmission is shot, still have a working transmission in the ram though... am I reading they won’t marry up?
