Default 1990 ram hemi swap

Here's a couple of photos of my in progress 5.7 hemi swap. I am to lazy to go into all of the details because there are so many. But here's the basics:
2005 5.7 truck hemi
I plan on using the stock 904 for one year( gotta save enough for a t-56 tremec)
Using a transmission adapter from ati
Engine management is a kit called hemitronix from ac nutter racing engines
Any other small details feel free to ask
I'm putting the engine on the Dyno next weekend. Will post a video, I'm hoping it makes 410hp

do you know if the adapter will work with a 727. only reason i ask is because i think you may end up blowing up that weak 904 with the power a 5.7 hemi would be putting up. there is a reason they were pretty much only used in cars.

the best thing to do is upload them somewhere else like picasa or photobucket and then post links here with the image tags. that is how i have done it for years. i also personally like picasa since you get an account with a youtube account or google account.

Any updates on this?
I recently purchased a 3rd gen ram with a hemi at a local auction. The tuck was wrecked and after close inspection after test fitting bumper and fenders , frame damage was the culprit of why parts wouldn't match up. I am looking for a 1st gen ram to do this swap aswell. The truck I bought has full length DynaTech headers and magnaflow exhaust,hoping to use this in the swap aswell.

Hey Chingo,,,old thread but was wondering how your Hemi swap went into a 1st gen Dodge?? Thanks.

And Dirtracer...I'm just now jumping in on this but how'd yours go? Did you keep FI or go carb?
