Isn't the 4500 a top-loader. I know the 3500 is an end-loader. The hole into the cab will probably work fine, I'm pretty sure the rear mount is gonna be different, and you're probably gonna need a shorter drive shaft. I'm not very sure that the cross member is the same. These are most of the reasons MaMOPAR didn't put the bigger 4500 behind the 360 in vehicles such as R/Ts the 3500 doesn't stand up to a stock 360, and it's a pretty tough fit. I've heard of people doing it though, just realize it's gonna be as tough as putting in any other non-option transmission.
