Hemi Swap into a 2nd Generation Ram
You have to modify the fire wall on the Gen 2 to take the new dash and steering wheel. As far as if its cheaper to buy a stroker that I'm not sure on. I didn't even price one out. I was trying to get away from the 46RE more than my bullet proof 360. That 6.1 will be sick when you get done with it. My whole build has cost me very little and I still have some more parts to Craigslist. I have spent $1,569 and I figure I have another three hundred to spend. And on parts sales I have made $1,595. So this has made me a tidy little profit of $36 dollars. When all is said and done I will probably break even.
Sweet- Have you drove it any Distance yet? How does it shift- Drive etc...Do all the gauges work..How about the Cruise control ? AND what did you do about the A/C lines.?
Thanks...

When some-one is talented enough to not only do a sweet swap like this, BUT make enough off of it-to put gas in too...Excellent...Can't beat that..

Is that why the wiring diagram "Pin-Out" I sent you wouldn't work.? How many wires does it have ? and are they the same color ?

Thanks Hemidak I will give him a call. All my searching around here turned up lots of rams in my body style but none in the new body style with a hemi all had the junk 4.7. I sold the cummins APPS already it was totally different it mounted on the accelerator and not unnder the battery tray. I'm trying to avoid too much cross matching of parts essentially I want to end up with all hemi electrical and power train in a Gen 2 body. As soon as I get the APPS and PWS pump I can fire her up. The hemi fuel pump dropped right into my gas tank so I just need to wire in trailer lights and rear brakes and turn signals and I'm finished wiring. Then I get to change some brake lines and steering lines. And I'm done. The end is in sight.
