If the truck would have had the stock engine mounts still in the truck the engine would have bolted right in. The tranny mount bolted right into the factory crossmember. I got the passenger side engine mount made and started on the drivers side. It lowered the front of the truck down a little. Im excited to get it going.

This is the truck its going in.

Everyone else has spoken about the problems in shoehorning the engine in place and of course they are valid...but it is not the only weak link. Just how do you expect the 9.25" rear end to survive the torque of the Cummins?

There is a fellow in my area that is selling a Ram 1500 where he swapped in a Viper V10. I have seen that truck at local shows and he used a Ford 9" in place of the 9.25". He is parting it out on CL (See CL, Lynnwood, WA). The V10 makes comparable torque to the Cummins and whatever your goal is with this swap you will need to take that into account
