Moparman187 Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 So my 4 banger journey has no power and is scary trying to pass someone that being said has anyone thought about a hemi swap they make the journey in awd and red versions and has a trans tunnel already how hard could it possibly be with a rt rear end and a 1500 donor truck ??

5rebel9 Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 A number of threads about this subject have been posted. NOBODY here has been able to do such a swap as well as on other similar platform (Avenger/200/Sebring 08-14) models. Hemi won't fit transverse, and the steering mods needed for "in line" setup are a bit difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moparman187 Posted December 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Maybe if you start off with the rwd rt ?? It has a trans tunnel already? Or just have an adapter plate made to fit the rwd/awd trans ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AWD DJ in any motor combination is a transverse(sideways) mount along with the trans. with a relatively weak power take off mounted to the 62te trans for the AWD. IF you want more power than the 4 banger supplies, sell/trade off for a 3.6 motor model. Summer Solstice and John/Horace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appalachian Journey Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Why not one of the V6 engines? Find a donor car that’s been smashed in the rear. If you’re determined to keep your Journey. Summer Solstice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Solstice Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 If you really want the hemi, move up to a Durango. Trying to put a hemi in a Journey is a task relegated to the custom mod world. It would be extremely expensive in time and money. 5rebel9 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 People can dream.....but unless you have Jay Leno style money laying around, it's not financially worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
