Worked on the Driver's side headers the other night, had to hack the LX headers apart , got the last 2 tubes done, this weekend I'll work on the front two and the collector.

Be interesting to find out how much room you have.
I have a 436 cid W9 that I will be doing the same.
Keep the photos coming.

arrrrgh….. KISS... should have stayed w/a big block and 4bbl.
helping my son with a motor swap in his 89 RC, going from the biggest turd of a 360 I have ever experienced, (TBI motor) to a 76 360 with a mild cam a 4 bbl CARB and EQ heads..... same trans same mounts, more power, dead simple dependable carb. no computer needed. or wanted.

Tired of Big Blocks myself , this Ramcharger started out as a D code 440 4x2 , for me it's just about being different

Good for you

The popular swap for RCs is recent years has been a Cummins. Have seen a few variations on the theme but most seem to keep the trans, xfer, axles from the donor pick up. Have even seen 2000ish dash swapped in to 70s bodies.

I did consider scooping up this roller as a cheap place to put one of my spare 440s but had a life change event. I kinda like the G3 Hemi idea and may have accidentally nudged him in that direction. We got in to a tangent discussion about the hack job LS install in a pop top that was on craigs.

I'm kinda surprised how much fab is going in to making it fit and wondering if truck exhaust wouldn't have bolted in. If I know anything about this guy, I know this: he's having more fun doing this than just bolting in another RB and when it's running it will melt the tires.

I'm diggin' it. Any progress???

yes and no,
the Driver's side header is done, the passenger side is hanging on the wall waiting for me to get back to it, the rear is Narrowed and waiting for me to decide if I'm going 4 link or Nascar truck arm. Trans X member for the TKO 600 is done. rest is waiting on the body guy to tell me when he can take the tub and work on it.

I know the 03-08 and 09-current truck exhaust manifolds will work, there are some exit issues but nothing that can't be dealt with ….but I want headers.
I didn't try the 03-08s Truck headers because of the port shape. I can't see me putting any engine in this Ramcharger that would use the square port heads.
I didn't want to try the 09 and latter headers in-till I knew if I could make the LX headers work...….learn from my mistake boys and girls.. don't go this route too much of a pain in the a$$...by the time it's all said and done I would of been better off making a custom set of headers.
I will try a set of the 09 and later headers some time in the next 2 weeks.I need a set for my 2014 so I have to buy them anyway.

Rick you were about 1/4 the nudge, the other 1/4 was the LS Ramchager and the last 1/2 was the guy who watched too many Fast and loud episodes and try to buy the Ramcharger for $300...because
" you know it's a Dodge no one pays for a Dodge , I'm doing you a favor, look at the garage space you'll have after you sell me this worthless Pile of crap,mater of fact , how about you give me $100 and I won't charge you to load that chunk of Dodge on my trailer"

Yes that was the conversation.

WOW.
LOL
I usually end that conversation with " I wouldn't sell you a pencil.
"DRIFT"

You can give me $100 and walk out of here or you can limp out for free.

Just a thought.

Any updates on the Ramcharger?

yes, waiting to see any updates too.
