Replacing engine

[Extremecor]

Hello

Is it possible to put a engine from a automatic srt-10 into a manual srt-10?
Is the cranckshaft the same?

Regards Cornald

I dont know why but i remember reading the blocks were different between the manuals and autos.. ??? But I guess that doesnt mean they bolt up differently. Someones got to know.

Crankshaft no, or shouldn't be different.
Where it bolts up in the rear yes.

The first SRT10 Rams from Dodge were regular cabs with Automatics. Reason was these were paraded around the country to generate interest and knew most of the excutives, celebrities etc who would be driving these wouldn't know how to drive stick. At least you now know it can be done!

I thought only the pace trucks were automatic.
All other VCA's were 6 speeds.

You are correct. Nascar rules state pace cars must be an auto tranny. There were only a couple made this way.

Six to be exact and according to the friend/engineer who's group put those together they were absolutely abused...mostly by the Union workers who worked the events these trucks participated in.

Man don't say something like that before Christmas. If they did, That would be like burning a piece of art.
