How to Remove Engine from Dodge Charger/Chrysler 300 Hemi

[@garrard_garage]

Nice video! It's helped me out a lot, my 06 charger dropped a valve seat and I'm going to do the engine swap myself, kinda worried me since I've never done an engine swap on anything this new, thank you so much, I think I have the confidence to do it myself now!

[@FalconsGarage]

If this is your first engine swap you picked an AWESOME car to start with, this is probably one of the roomiest cars I've done. Good luck with the project!

[@cfromtx]

Thanks to you bro I got my 2012 chrysler 300 srt’s 392 ALMOST ready to take out. The fan assembly for the 392 was harder to take out cause the engine is big but I managed to wiggle it out. Pretty sure there was an easier way but I got it out lol anyways nice video man you helped me a lot it’s my first time too btw.

Great video very helpful for working on my aunt's car

[@ILLUDIUM_Q_36]

If I had a garage I'd be all good to fix my Charger 😔

[@leonardc2234]

Great video.. Thanks for taking the time to make it.. Do you have a video on installing this particular engine?

[@shanndonferguson1321]

Just did put a new engine in and it’s something that is wired wrong making the ground wire hot and start smoking ? You know what I could possibly have wired wrong

[@FalconsGarage]

that usually happens when it loose or not making good contact .. check ALL grounds going into the engine

[@shanndonferguson1321]

@@FalconsGarage turns out it was the muffler touching the starter which made it mess up

[@dunnriteauto9770]

21 mm on the crank 😱

Ecactly......did need it last Friday :-) Trying to remove my engine from my 2015er Challenger.......

Will a 2007 Chrysler 300c V8 5.7 liter AWD fit in a 2006 Chrysler 300c V8 5.7 liter RWD

[@FalconsGarage]

honestly not sure.. but i do think the AWD and the RWD versions of it have different oil pans ..

[@David-fy6sm]

Falcon's Garage yes awd has axles running through it I have a awd and I’m pulling the engine to rebuild it right now 🤤

[@ethansquires8322]

do you have to remove the harmonic balancer?

[@FalconsGarage]

it will give you more room if you do

[@rubysosa606]

Does a engine from a 2006 dodge charger 5.7 hemi fit a 2006 chrysler 300c 5.7 hemi without any modifications, like will it bolt right in? Or do i have to change computers or anything like that ? Im doing a swap

[@FalconsGarage]

will it fit.. yes.. it should bolt right up as far as the housing .. not sure about the manifolds etc .. but you can always call your local junk yards and they would know what engines are compatible.

[@ZTEKFORCE]

How about removing the front bumper, radiators, etc...would it be easier to pull the engine out that way?

[@FalconsGarage]

not worth the trouble in my opinion.. not on this car. I do it on rams and other cars but on this one its not worth it

[@ZTEKFORCE]

Affirmative! I have a 06 300C w/ a blown 5.7 hemi engine. I decided to do the swap instead of doing the head gaskets. Just waiting on my local junkyards to get one in stock :) I could've probably saved the old engine but I was too cheap to pay $60 for the towing. LOL

[@FalconsGarage]

i heard you bro, good luck with the swap

[@ZTEKFORCE]

Do you remember where all the ground wires go on the back of the engine? I kinda forgot except those two small wires connected to the water pipe bracket!!! Do any of the ground wires connect to the tranny bolts? I reinstalled the engine however the alternator is not charging, the engine starts and runs fine until the battery gets empty! I did test the alternator. Thank you in advance!

[@ZTEKFORCE]

I forgot to connect the second positive wire that connects to the starter. Good thing I took some photos prior removing the engine. LOL

[@JoeyGarcia]

So, how long did it take from start to finish? I'm trying to see how long it would take me to pull a Hemi out of a wrecking yard.

[@FalconsGarage]

if its your first time maybe from 5-7 hours.. maybe less

[@JoeyGarcia]

these things don't look easy to remove. 5 to 7 hours is a long time. Have to be there when the wrecking yard opens until it almost closing time. Yikes!

[@FalconsGarage]

good think about the wreakinyard YOU dont have to worry about re attaching connectors or hoses ... worst case scenario just cut wires and hoses off .... then you can take your time on your vehicle

[@crazyboyfly1]

Hey man I have a 2009 Chrysler 300 5.7l and I want to upgrade my pulleys but I’m not finding the right ones for my car. Can I instal parts that go on the charges engine to my Chrysler since they are almost identical??

[@FalconsGarage]

I would say yes.. but not 100% sure

[@jakierabassett8168]

Can a 2006 dodge Charger motor fit n a dodge Chrysler???

[@FalconsGarage]

it should..

[@jakierabassett8168]

K thanks

[@gissac1996]

My 2005 chrysler 300c motor went out. I found a 2014 chrysler 5.7 motor. Is there any mods imma have to do in order to run it.

[@FalconsGarage]

i would have to ask my contacts on monday, remind me then

[@RyanHull76]

My charger has a dropped valve seat, and it scattered a piston down into the oil pan. I'll be removing the motor for replacement, and this video was very helpful! Quick question for ya. I was able to unbolt the A/C compressor and just moved it over next to the wheel well. Did you have another reason that you disconnected yours besides clearance? Thank you so much for making the video! It's really helped me visualize each step as I'm tearing this down.

[@FalconsGarage]

no, just clearance issues that's it. Good luck with the swap!

[@phoenixsun5059]

I believe the same thing happened to mine it blow a hole through the oil pan. I reached in the oil pan and found shards of metal. What do u think?

[@davidbender2950]

Do i need to support the trans

[@FalconsGarage]

yes

[@BrandonRamsawak2001]

I should learn how to Fix a Car Engine, Because soon I have to Fix one

[@Jamal-we1vh]

Hey did you have to remove the transmission lines that go to the radiator from the bell housing ? Or was it just the belt housing bolts and the starter bolts you undid? Thanks

[@FalconsGarage]

im sure it was just the bell housing bolts .. if i remember correctly

[@Jamal-we1vh]

@@FalconsGarage you are correct thanks for the reply

[@terrydavis2205]

Will a 5.7 out of a charger fit a 2011 dodge Durango 5.7

[@kelinjohnson7421]

good video i plan to build my 2008 hemi with just a bigger stroke and cam. do you know a way to put on long tubes with out removing the motor tho if not its all good man.

[@SkyPix119]

Do you think a 2007 Chrysler 300C AWD engine would fit a 2008 Dodge Charger R/T RWD without problem?

[@phoenixsun5059]

Never done this before and mechanic skills aren’t so hot but how long would this take

[@FalconsGarage]

if you never done his before ... maybe a day or two

[@tt-rs1457]

So, may it also possible to take the Engine out, and leave the AC in it ? Or do you don't recommend this ? Greeting from germany

[@FalconsGarage]

yes you can do it with out disconnecting the ac lines, but it will be a little harder

[@tt-rs1457]

@@FalconsGarage Thank you sir! Okay, it might be better to remove because it's be hard enought for me to muscle this badboy out of my mopar :-)

[@kevinshack2004]

Great video really helpful

[@jcflores1317]

Once I finish an engine swap, do I need to go to the dealership to "reset" the computer?

[@FalconsGarage]

there Should be no need for that if its the same engine

[@PhOeNiXpIoLe]

Do you have to support the transmission with a jack when you unbolt the housing and flywheel?

[@FalconsGarage]

yes

[@TheSuave187]

Can this be dropped from the subframe on a lift ?

[@FalconsGarage]

yes it could.. but really no need from the top is very easy too

[@shawangunk]

You said a strapon. 🤣
