Wondering if anyone could give some pointers, or advice.
Thinking about the possibility of swapping the 12's V-^ with the 05's 4.0L straight six. Any idea what I'd need for this, how much work it would take, and if I could retain the 12's features relating to the engine (cruise control and such)?
The straight 6 and transmission are still in good working order, though pushed out of alignment due to a bent frame.
On the other hand, most of the damage to the 05 is in the frame. I know replacing theframe would require pretty much a complete teardown. Any advice on whether or not this would be worth it?

Thanks in advance for any help and advice!

The 3.6L is a decent motor but heavily dependent on electronics. You would need a computer out of a 12 and obviously the correct modules and hopefully, they will integrate in to the limited canbus of the 05.

The 4.0L is really a bulletproof motor, leave it in. If you really want cruise control, remote start, etc. buy aftermarket units to add in and not mess with Mopar and dealer programming.
