Whatever you pull the motor out of, pull the wiring and computers with it as it will make the swap much easier.

That is right. Steve did this in his Dart. Everything that you would need I'm sure that he will be able to help you with or point you in the right direction.

i dont know if you are steve, but if you are, that was an amazing job, im glad i could appreaciate such a motivating project, well sir of course it helped me out a lot (suspension, brakes, rear and front end),but i still need ecu to make this SRT8 engine work i'll use it with fuel injected so this is gonna be swapped into another car (charger 70), so i suppost original ecu from srt8 won't work with this setup because of alarm, brakes, and all issues it works with, i've seached for it, but can't find it yet, any aftermaket?

No he isn't Steve, Crazy4Cars is, the one that did the build. And not knowing how alarm/brakes, and other misc circuits/systems the ecu has, i have heard that those circuits are not needed to make one go. But to answer your question, yes aftermarket ecu's are out there and available. This is one that comes to mind...FAST

Getting to be a pretty common swap. The Cheby guys have been doing this for years. Finally getting more info out there for the Mopar crowd.
