one of my buds got a single cab 03' ram 5.7 a little while back and weve always wanted to see what its got against my little RT. Hes got a shaker type ram air intake and muffler. I think id get him from a dig but the hemi definitely has more top end power to make up for that. and dont worry im talking about doing it at a strip lol

do you have any mods ? if not, you're not likely to be happy with the outcome.

I had a bone stock 03 ram with the hemi and it ran 9.70s in the 1/8 for a comparison

I ran my buddies 10 QC hemi and I took it until about 100 then he pulled away. This was in my 98 r/t obviously for those that are mentally challenged at comprehending which truck I used. (This is a forum after all)

Why did they never just put a hemi in a dak for us, 03-04 would have been a nice guesture to us lol

Size? I don't know for sure, but IIRC the RAM is like 8" (basically 2 hands and a thumb) wider (if that). But that ought to leave more room between the inner fenders for those oversized heads. Has anyone done a retro fit? Will it fit or will it require cutting?

no, it'll fit fine. The new hemis aren't much bigger than a 5.9

Great engine to work on, and packaged really well. I have an idea to do a 5.7 swap into a Honda s2000 and make it like a mini viper. It already looks like one.

That's interesting, and surprising. I would think that the heads would be much larger and cause packaging issues.

Regarding the S2000... there are Solstice roadsters with LS7s with T-56s dropped in them. 12421

Totally a modern day Cobra. :drive: :burnout:
