So here is my pictures of my build thread (photobucket album) putting a 2005 Ram SRT10 RC engine into my 1972 Dodge Van. Feel free to ask any questions!
1972 Dodge B100 109" Wheelbase van, originally was 318 2bb. Had been upgraded to 360 4bbl with built 727 and nitrous (best Quarter Mile ET of 11.949 @ 113). Pulled all that out and started installing a 2005 Generation III Viper V10 8.3L (505 CID) from a wrecked 2005 Ram SRT-10 Pickup. Used a TCI Viper V10 to GM Transmission adapter kit, that I had to make several modifications to so that it would work, i.e. Different starter ring gear on flex plate, press in fasteners for adapter piece had to be shipped to me and I had to press in as they were missing, and I had to have a different secondary plate cut from A514 (iirc) to match the 6 bolt hole pattern of the 4L80E torque converter as the one that came with the kit was a smaller 3 hole bolt circle pattern. Anyway, each of those pieces was modified and rebalanced at a machine shop before being put to use. I'll let the pictures take it from here, and answer any questions you all might have! smile
