I'm at the point of making my hemi swap engine mounts and oil pan. I have a 04 hemi out a durango and I'm putting it in a 01 dakota qc 4x4. Is there any interest in anyone else that want or need either of these? Let me know. I'm there now. And I would rather build multiple sets now while I'm swapping my Kota rather that someone wanting a set months later after everything has been done. So I guess just let me know. Also I have a build thread going to show exactly how I will be making them, and how I am measuring to make them right.

Would these also fit a 1999 Dodge Durango, 4x4, 5.2L, for a similar Hemi conversion?

I can look up parts interchange on the motor mounts. If they are the same then yes. But I would not be able to guarantee the pan depending on trans choice and other assorted details. I would guess( keyword here) that the mounts would work. I was looking up new front diff bushings(aka mounts) and they interchange the 4.7 and 5.9. So as long as the base mount is the same then it should work.

I think it’s the same bell housing for all the transmissions from the last “torqueflite” up to the 545RFE.

Let me know - I know this will be a project I’ll have to take on eventually. Not if but when. Current 5.2 has 280,000 miles. Never rebuilt. Original 44RE, never rebuilt.

Ok. So mounts are different pn from 99 to 00. Look close to the same though. If you can send me a measurement from front of bellhousing to the center of the engine mount where it bolts to the diff mount. I will put up a pic showing what I mean. If it's the same distance then you should be good. Same for pan. Front ob bell to back of front axle tube. With that should be able to tell ya something lol

Oil pan is a pita. Making mine now. Pickup needs extended. Apparently not there is a 4x4 pan available. Just not common. But for what I would have to charge it would be easier to pick that up. As far as mounts go, I didn't like the first one I made. So making new ones out of 1/4" looking like time and materials will be about $200. Got enough to make 3 sets now.

Sorry. Typo in previous reply. There IS now a pan available for the 4x4 swap from milodon. And it has a different part no from the dakota swap pan they sell for 2x4. I have it at home. When I get back will post it here.

I have a 02 durango 4x4 that I am doing a hemi swap. I really need a set of engine mounts. I can't find them anywhere.
