Has anyone Swapped a Ram 1500 3.7L intake Manifold into a Liberty? I was looking at one the other day and the Runners are visually a few inches longer on the truck than what we got on our liberties,The throttle body also looks bigger but I didn't have time to measure it. I would think the longer runners would create a bit more torque but I have been wrong before.

The longer the runners the more low end you should theoretically have. The only way to see is to try and install it and see if there is a gain. Sadly the adaptive PCM will just counter the modification so a tune is needed to keep any gains.

All of the powertech 3.7's are rated at 210 hp @ 5200 rpm and 235 lb/ft @ 4000 rpm regardless of application. It would be a pretty pointless swap.

without investing in a B&G run and tune it would be fairly pointless

i'm all for tweaking - however i doubt the benefits of the swap unless all things are equal between the intakes other than length - they did a nice job when they designed our intakes
