There's a guy over on ramchargercentral who did a very nice swap from a
newer Ram into his RC, so that's definitely on my radar - but I think
I'd rather put the money into the truck *without* the holes in it.
If I bother doing anything with the under-hood bits of the RC in the
short term it'll either be moving the 360 to propane (or rebuilding it
and then running propane) or finding a cheap way to do EFI (maybe a
certain less-tired 318 plus MegaSquirt?).
I don't have any experience with it yet, but I'm sure that my carb
won't like funny angles any more than any other carb, and
stalling/flooding offroad al the time would just be annoying.

well, ~275 is decently better than what I've got now, and the tq blows
it out of the water. with a simpler fitting (versus the 5.9), that
might not be too bad.....
Things to think about once I actually have a job + money. damn real
life showing up in a month.....
