I have to agree. Nice idea though but that suka a one big beast. When I popped
the hood on my company truck the engine owns the engine bay meaning there is no
more room. Here's an interesting thing to when we went to look for one I asked
about the foglights on the bumper and you cannot get them with the cummins
until this years sport model (redesigned bumper). The engine sat so close to
the back of the bumper that the foglights couldn't be mounted in the holes. My
friend has a '95 ram with the cummins and he told me the same thing after I got
this one. As for the v10. From lookin at it under the hood of a ram the engine
sure doesnt' look much longer than the 318. Would make sense since it's the
same engine with 2 more cyls added on. On my dak you would have to definatly
use an electric fan though. Now there's an idea. If you cannot use the viper
engine due to getting the electronics and the price how about a ram v10? there
is a complete harness avail. and you can get the MP computer I think. Oh well
it's late and i'm starting to fall asleep at the keybaord and dream......z z z
