Default Motor Swap Question, SR20DET Redtop..

sooo... buddy of mine just split his Nissan 180sx in Half and is parting it out.. i have a motor with about 615 hp at 21psi of boost, with a t4 turbo setup that is basically a donor motor.. Now.. What are the chances a Nissan sr20det motor would fit in my 2wd 2007 dodge ram..?

Why would you do that (eww)?? What you should do is find a 240SX (any year), that engine was designed for them. I've seen a few of them dropped into Pulsars instead of a CA18DET.
