I wonder what it would run a 1/4 mile in with the 6.1 and some mods done to it.[sm=confused06.gif]
depends on what mods... but it would much quicker than a lot of people would expect when they see a 96 ram pull up...

+1. I would expect it to run a solid mid 13. with just the motor swap seeing how it is about the same weight as the other srt8s

if a Cummins 12 valve can be showhorned and fabricated to fit onto the frame of a 05 1500. . .a 6.1L can easily be done as well.

granted the motor itself is going to be more electronic than your 360the 6.1Lwill be a beast. The main problem I would see would be engine and tranny mount possitions.

a bored 360 would also be a good route if you cannt get things to work right(which I doubt)

hes thinking of getting the trans that mates with it as well, so a custom trans mount at least, if not a crossmember, as well as a custom d/s.

the moral of the story is kids, theres no cheep way to go fast as a daily driver in these trucks. I think ill take a cobra and throw $5k at it and run 10s.
