So I put around 10 miles on tonight on some back roads. Couldn't get the coolant over 140F even after idling for 15 minutes, a full throttle run to 55 (no OD hooked up yet), burnout in the dirt, and driving around the farm for another 15 minutes.
Tranny came up to about 130f after the same conditions...
It's not going to win any drag races but it feels pretty torquey when it snorts down low
Heat blows warm, but still needs a tee off the vacuum to run the havc motor. Right now the vacuum pump is only working on the brakes, which also work great. I was worried after I torched the line doing the motor mounts and had to splice it with compression fittings
I realized today I haven't had the alternator wired up correctly, so I will have a solution with pics to come shortly
Loving the truck so far.

Way worth it now that it's done. It'd be cool to see more rams with the swap out there...

Definitely slower with the stock VE pump settings. With a little tuning it shouldn't be a huge difference vs. the worn out 360. Once I am completely done I can try and run a 0-60 with a cam on the speedo
