I have a 96 2500 Ram 4x4 that has the V10 engine. I'm in the middle of an engine swap and have hit a bunch snags. Is there any forums that specialize in the V10 truck engines. Some of the questions I need to find answers for are as follows. Is there a vin number some where on the block or a build date that will lead me to the year of the engine. What internal parts are interchangeable , Like crankshaft, camshaft, and timing parts so as I know the cam and crank sensors will work. Needing to take the 2 1/2 engines I have and stir the pot and have something good come out of it.

Thanks!
