Hi,
Can you give a little more detail about what engine is coming out of the Ram and what transmission you have in the charger?
If you have VIN's for both vehicles, that would be the best to tell you if they will bolt up. However, I can tell you now that this is not just a plug and play. Meaning, the sensors are not going to be the same and it is going to take quite a bit of wiring to make the older engine work in the newer vehicle if it will work at all. The new vehicle works off of a completely different electrical architecture so getting the engine to start and run properly is not going to be easy. The PCM's are going to be different and the PCM off the older engine will not work with the newer vehicle because they will just not communicate.
I am not saying this can't be done but again, it is going to take a lot of electrical work to get them to work together. Getting them to mate together is just the beginning of these types of projects.
