I am looking forward to the salt and pepper show (tire and engine smoke)! Congrats and kudos to the family for putting this together. AFter the recent digging I have personally done in Dodge/RAM wiring diagrams, I agree that is the hardest part of this swap. I'd have to consider this if my 4.7 blows...

nice work, hell of an accomplishment.
not to be an *** or downplay what you've done, but what made you do it? increased torque, and the weaker driveline that the 360 had, you've almost set yourself up for failure down the road if you ever use that thing to its potential. nevermind that you might wreck that independant front if that engine is heaver by much.

And I could be wrong on another equation, but don't the QCLB trucks of this vintage have the same front end parts as well? I would think the front end weight of them would be close to what this is now. Just my .02. Anyone have any input on this?

Where else do you see a RCSB 1500 sporting 325-350hp and 750ish ft.-lbs of torque? (estimate for now)If the rear fails, oh well, they make stronger parts. I an sure many people have built a 500hp gasser and run it on a stock rear for at least a while. I could be wrong.
