The more I think about it, it just comes out cheaper and ezer above the rest, big cubes, big hp out of the box what 550+ then mod it out. You say $3000 thats cheap hp in my books. I think you have posted your a mech so what a week or less work to install a SRT-V10 and tranny, t case should also be ezer to deal with.
It'd be damn close to being a bolt in mod, just need the harness and ECM from an SRT10 ram. A LOT easier than swapping in another brand's setup. I am a mechanic, but usually I am replacing parts or swapping blocks of the same type haha. I don't get to play around with fabrication or customization at work sadly 
Shouldn't be TOO hard... right?... RIGHT?

it would make thing interesting. i bet you would have no issues getting both front wheels off the ground with the power it is putting out. i just wonder if it would be street legal with that much sticking out of the hood on a truck?

I would think the biggest hurdle will be putting a t case behind whatever trany goes on the back of the srt-10 motor. But that might be ez to, I don't know what trany is behind that V10 I never looked into that far.
You are newer here, what 99 posts your skin will thicken with time. This forum is mild compared to others, DF is a great place to hang.
Agreed! I am actually loving the v10 idea It'd be damn close to being a bolt in mod, just need the harness and ECM from an SRT10 ram. A LOT easier than swapping in another brand's setup.

I am sure you're right... but being told I should be beat because I am willing to go beyond the almighty M is a bit troubling haha.

Dad and I have been eyeballing this truck for a while... Nobody seems to want to buy it.

If it was around here, I would probably work a deal on it...change wheels and tires, add a stripe, and get into tons of trouble!
