 | Do it. He will need the tranny too, even though the 4.0 has a punch the bolt pattern from that to the 5.7 is completely different. But my idea and suggestion.... DO IT.

| what electronics are we talking about here bud? the speedometer will be cable driven from the tranny, the odometer will match the speedometer, that tacomoter runs off a single wire to the cam, and all the others, like the horn, interior lights, radio, Power windows(if it has it) are all powered through the fuse panel and seperate from the engine. If you run an older 5.7 or newer, make sure you use the ECU paired with it to run and monitor the O2, EGR etc.... but if this is going to be oof road only, then those do not matter anyways..... Use the engine harness the 5.7 currently has... etc... other then those, what electronics are you concerned with?
