After market oil pan
Custom headers
Supposedly I could run a 4.7 computer and a 5.7 harness but I can not figure out witch one.
Crank spacers
Drive by wire
Front motor accessories totally different

I already have an 03 5.7 truck engine, harness, and ram computer but can not figure out how to make it affordable. Still would not have any quench without spending a butt load more money. Also I have seen so many powdered metal rods break I am scared to run anything with them in it (remember whatever I do I want a rocking engine when I am done so all the rotating stuff will need upgraded). Those broken rods are how I ended up with everything to build a motor.


I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
