I didn't see this posted, but for the 1500 guys looking for something a little different. It looks like a nice clean truck, built right, though it's way high on the price in my opinion.

1996 Dodge Ram 1500

 

Yeah, it IS pretty, but, for that kind of money, you would build one. (or two.)

 

They should have put in the viper V10! But that was done already by the factory(dodge VTS).

 

That is one cool truck. Could surprise a few mustangs and camaros I bet.

 

$21,995???!!!!!

 

Yeah, it sucks that it's on a flippers lot. That's a really clean truck with a properly installed engine. Too bad it'll collect dust till someone with deep pockets and looking for that exact setup comes along.

 

A V10 crammed in there? I bet that thing over heats like crazy.

 

They probably swapped in the V10 rad also.

 

Not any different than supercharging one. I have a durango with a blower and that thing throws heat like crazy, still stays below 200 on 95degree days with the a/c on. Fan runs like nuts though.

 

In all reality, the engine compartment is no different than the 3/4 ton trucks. The provisions are already on the radiator support to bolt in the larger radiator that comes with the 8.0, and diesel engines, all the mounts are pretty much the same. It's basically a drop in swap. Especially on the 96, as only the engine harness (and PCM) would need to change to accommodate the motor. This is pretty much the same as dropping a 454 into where a small block chevy used to be.
