Choosing the best 5.7 engine and Transmission

Thanks for the response! The engine build you are describing is right what i was thinking.
I've read a bunch on the nag and it seems like a lot, but doable.
I guess my goal has been to just buy a complete car. Just seems like it would be easier to pull everything from one car...

I've been leaning towards a 09+ ram, durango, or jeep with the 545, rather than try to track down truck motor, then track down nag1/electronics/shifter, then deal with the install of the nag.
