    Going from a 02 to 08 conversion

    I have a 02 dodge ram and liked the 08 square shape front end of the new dodges at the same time i saw a pretty banged up truck with a savage title at an insurance auction i know trying to get it back on the road would be a long hard task that will drain my pockets. so i figured i'd buy the truck for $2,000 n take the front end off the savaged truck and do a motor swap what are my chances of everything from the 2008  dodge fitting on to my 02 dodge wit a perfect fit or would i need to buy motor mounts and do alot of cutting and what not to do a conversion can someone give me some answers before i let this truck sit in my yard and mess up my lawn lol

    Most of the newer 08 parts should bolt up to your 2002 with the exception of a few places and some possible minimal fabrication. Your only problem might be the headlight harness connectors. Im not sure if they are the same or not. You might find out some more information from this thread post on the Dodge Talk forums on a similar front end conversion.
