Yes, you can make that swap. I don't think you can just bolt the new motor mounts into place though, so you'll have to do some fabrication on the frame to get them to mount up. To make things easier, there are tons of companies that make aftermarket 5.7L motor mounts that can be welded to the frame.

Off Road Design, Blue Torch Fab Works, SpiderTrax, etc. Any reputable 4-wheel drive shop (except for 4-Wheel Parts) will have them, or can order them.

Stop by http://www.offroaddesign.com/ Give them a call and ask for Steve Watson. I've worked with him for years and he's a really great guy, and arguably one of the most knowledgable people on the planet when it comes to full size 4-wheel drive rigs. He's an incredible engineer too, and his products are top-notch.

No worries!

Oh yeah, Steve Watson (and probably every other shop in the US) are in Moab this week for EJS. So you'll have to wait for everyone to come back. :)
