So I started thinking about what to do with my busted motor once I got it fixed. I could build it up for a future Viper or my SRT Ram or I could put it in my '72 Blazer which I've had since the mid 1980s. These vehicles are coming up in price and are somewhat hard to find anymore.
So, would a cummins diesel or cast iron V10 auto tranny (from the older 2500,3500 series truck) seem a good fit? I've seen a Jeep Wrangler with a viper motor in it but need to check on the tranny. I think Mopar has the wiring harness and stuff like that.
Anyway, I could keep it naturally aspirated and the engine compartment in these trucks is more then large enough to put in a 454 so I figure I could fit one in.
