Holley makes a kit for that now too.

Holley Kit

Not that I'll be doing it anytime soon (though I'd love to), my questions would relate to the existing wiring and the fuel system.

If you have the money and skill set, could prove to be fun!

Pretty popular swap. There were quite a few racing and even more on display. This is from Holleys display.

Sorry for the orientation.

There was one here with a Viper V-10 for sale years ago

Check with your emissions laws, if you have them, before doing anything like this. In some places you can't change engines out for different ones or larger ones, etc. They'll cancel your registration until you put it back the way it was.

Good point. I think it would be OK where I'm at because anything over 25yrs just needs basic safety inspection.

Most E-laws are written so if the engine is a newer one than the vehicle it's going in (and you keep whatever the new engine has for E), it's generally ok. Still a good idea to check specifics for your area.

That truck is SWEET!

My truck has gotten a little squirrelly with the 'powerhouse' 3.9, it would probably be like driving on ice with the Hemi........ eek
