BloodRed Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Nice Mopar. What is your plans for it? It should be fun and it should be a pretty dependable truck. I have heard nothing but good about those old Ramchargers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimpsy1647545505 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 440/727 swap. Exactly. . . if anyone wants to help me over the summer, I'll be sure to keep coolers full of beer and we'll take her out and mud run and such. . . these babies will go ANYWHERE. Only gets about 10MPG city, 15MPG highway. . but it's a damn TANK. . . so I'm ok with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelloman4571647545499 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 watch cause the seals on the gates get weathered and water leaks past them which leads to rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 6BT/NV6500 swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWD JUNK Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 6BT/NV5600 swap *fixed +1 First gen Cummins, and for affordability sake the NV4500 would do just as nicely. 20mpg and torque to crawl up a vertical wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpsy1647545505 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 haha. . .is a cummins conversion really worth the effort? OHHHH..after checking the truck out today the engine is ACTUALLY a 360. . so it has more potential than I thought! YIPPPPEEE. . . . my only main problem with this thing is the loose steering. . . it's not a huge issue. . but there is a lot of play, and I've read up on it and apparently the chrysler steering shafts are worthless and can be replaced with a borgeson that's much better? Interesting. Anywho. . 360, not a 318..and some pics that verify this from the factory spec sheet I found in the glove box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
