Whats up everyone... its my first day on this and i've got to say it's pretty damn cool.. Anyways i've been thinking lately because ive been doing pretty good with my company rather to one buy an SRT10, or 2 fix up my 2003 4.7. I REALLY don't wanna get rid of my truck because i have custom blue viper paint and all my mods and i just love my truck youguys know what i mean... So any suggestions on swaping myengine to a different motor or crat motor that will fit. I talked to mopar today and they told me they can do it but its gonna take forever and when i finally do get the engine in i need someone to do my electronics for ex. my radio,wiper blades,etc. But i'm sure you guys have heard of some crazy $hit. I dont wanna look stupid so please no suggestions that will mess up my truck or make me look like a dumb a$$ if i were to repeat it. MY GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO "WOOP" A LIGHTNING.
I'm open and SERIOUS about ANY suggestions. Thanks you guys

 

It would be easier to buy a used srt, a new crate of just a 4.7 engine costs a lot, dont know how much the viper motor is but a new one plus labor etc etc you'd be better off with a used srt10

Dont know much about the srt10 other than it sucks gas, but I'm sure the susp is diff. Also does it have a bigger rear end to handle all that power coming in through the drive shaft. Aslo is the driveshaft that flimsy alum/cardboard thing?

Just like how a 4x4 has a lot of other things diff in its construction than just having the capability of turning all 4 wheels.

Or buy a used hemi put a chip, CAI, exst, and new gears and you'll be happy.

 

Don't swap it, stroke it...

 

as the old saying goes....No Replacement for Displacement

 

You would have to replace all of the electronics in it.

 

I think the cheapest and best bet is the junkyard. I never really see a lot of 2nd gen Dodges, but these 3rd gens i see a lot of, so there is probably a good amount of parts in the junkyards from 3rd gen wrecked rams. I do towing and i have had to tow in a number or wrecked rams , some totalled some not.

 

^^ i nEVER see any 3rd gens around here in chicago...wtf.


anyways, throw an old 409 in that bitch.

 

Pinga, thats a bad *** paint job. Shame about that motor tho. Check out the 4.7 performance thread.

 

Get yourself a used 4.7 motor and stroke it.
Either that or tear it down and rebuild for either supercharger, or Turbo charger, or better still, a combo of all the above.
That way you would get low down power from the blower and mid to top with the turbo.
If your ride is already that special to you with all your other mods on it...............what would it be like to have all of the above and be probably, one of the only trucks riding around like that!!
Totally unique!
