Hello everyone. Im new to this forum and new to the whole dodge thing. Im looking to do a motor swap in my 96 dodge 1500. I was wondering what motors you've all seen swapped into these. My rams got 140,000 miles on it and im wanting to upgrade my powertrain now. Thanks for any help

 

Welcome to DF.

I will move this to the main (technical) section of 2nd gen Ram, as it is technical. Get you more answers that way.

 

Thanks to both things haha

 

Ram, stang and live in PA! Welcome to DF where abouts in PA ya from? Pics of stang are a must

 

Only ones I've seen swapped into our trucks has been the new 345 5.7, the 426 and the 440...

 

Haha heres a pic of the stang. Green 06 is mine, red 94 is my brothers. My fastest 1/4 time was a 12.7 at 110mph. Bros was an 11.7. We just droped a 347 stroker in his.

As far as where i live in PA, i live about 10 min from Quackertown and about 20 from boyertown if you know either of those two?

And alright sweet. Im just looking to step up in power and im also doing some bodywork and repainting her.

 

Well, for my own reasons, I'd say do the 440 and take many pictures so i have a template.

 

Ah **** bluebeast, just realized you have a 94 also. And smart man going with the trickflow. You have an account over at moddedmustangs.com?

 

haha Laramie1997 if i do decide to go with the 440 ill def take pics for yea

 

Nice 06 is the 94 a GT with the cobra bumper or a cobra? I'm planing on building a 408 stroker for my 94. Have the 351 all tore down just need to get it checked out before I start buying parts. Gonna basically restore the car cause it looks horrible from sitting for like 5 years.

I think you are a good ways away.

Anyway what kinda power you looking for out of the truck?
