I was kicking around the idea of snagging a rollover (some where in the 2000-2010 range for the Hemi/trans setup). Pulling the body off, and bolting mine on. I know, I put this way to simply, I'm sure theirs a bunch of things I'd need to do to get it to work. But wouldn't it be nice to have a newer Hemi setup under a '70s truck body?! Just what would be involved in this? Also, Calif. smog laws would be all over me. But my '76 has to be smogged anyway, and I'd have no problem smogging it to the newer truck specks. But would Calif. smog laws want it to pass smog for my '76 trucks year. I'd think the newer set up would do this no problem, except for the visual. I guess I'd have to talk it over with a ref. first.
Just a thought.
