Shouldn't you just be able to get the factory motor mounts since the Rams came with Hemi anyways?? This should just be a direct bolt in except for the PCM/computer/wires. Those you should be able to get from one of the rewire places in the back of the truck mags. I can't remember the name right now (any help out there??) but I know in one of my old JP or 4 x 4 mags they used them for a Hemi swap into a TJ, sweat!! I'll try to repost the name if I remember but this is thier main business. Plus the Show Trucks on CMT used them too.

You may need to switch out the front springs too not sure if the Hemi weighs more or not.

 

oh sorry, i guess i misread the post. i just saw 6.1L and got all excited

 

Well it's the headgasket that is gone and the something in the motor is ticking. Hmmm...

I still have yet to decide what to do yet. The motor has 150k on it and I don't want to sink $850 into just having the head gaskets replaced. I found used ones ranging from $1,800 - $2,500 depending on the mileage on them. And most shops are telling me it's way too much work to do the Hemi swap to be worth it. And advice?

 

Is it possible to drop a CTD in 1500? If it is, that's got my vote

 

I wish, but that would be a hefty project. New engine, tranny, rear end, front end, fuel lines, etc.
