Thanks for the resource, that would make swapping it into a classic basically plug and play.

Yea but in my state I'd have to do that to something pre 1996 for emissions. Otherwise that'd be an option for my bee. If It wasn't a numbered truck I'd sell the original engine/trans to offset the cost, but I won't completely part the two , to much of a purist lol.

pshhh yea, this swaps not happening. If i had a wrecked SRT-10 Ram infront of me this would be a walk in the park, but that's not the case. What are these guys doing to get these things into classic cars? just using the ECU / harness and custom rigging up gauges? or doing something else stand...

So from what I've gathered, the swap would need - 48RE automatic transmission / torqure converter (not sure if this needs a computer also?) - Viper ram wiring harness - Viper ram ECU or a reflash / programming of my ECU - At least a different cooling fan, I'd try to get away with my original...

I'm really not sure how many miles are on the motor I'm going to have to ask the guy I'm getting it from. It can't be very many though. I'm going to assume it's out of a 6 speed though. I'm guessing this makes a difference? I'm really just a chevy guy, I assume everything fits everything lol.

I mean I'd honestly try to build something else I could daily drive if I kept it. I have a 1970 Chevelle SS for the weekends and a 1970 Corvette project. I DD my rumble bee as it is so I'd build something I could switch off with that. I really can't think of one other car I'd want to drop this...

Well instead of going through the trouble to adapt my transmission I'd just pick up a 48RE. I was afraid that it wouldn't bolt up, but it's not that big of an obstacle considering what I'm paying for my motor. I also have exclusive access to a dodge dealership, which doesn't hurt. I still may...

Hey guys, recently I have acquired a 2004/2005 V10 out of a viper. I own a 2005 Ram Rumble bee. I'm considering swapping this motor in so long as the transmission is a direct bolt on application. I figure I'd need the harness, and possibly an ECU / Reflash, maybe a few other little odds and ends...
