I just saw a Viper V10 crate engine on eBay for $7000 with Buy it Now. That's a start. BTW, better get used to spending money. ;)

better get ready to move the firewall back. and as stated above make sure you get all the necessary goodies(ie. pcm, tranny, etc.) find a donor SRT-10 Ram or viper.

actually you can get one stright out of the catologs brand new create engine, nothing on it for $3000 so its just the block!
dont listen to these fools who say you have to move the firewall back! you dont!!!! ill stress that again, YOU DONT HAVE TO MOVE BACK THE FIREWALL! you just have to get the viper fan kit! so that more money! but it will fit perfectly. in all honestly dont waste your money on getting the viper fan kit cause mopar will rip you off just order a eletric fan kit off jegs.com! works just fine, only bad thing about the V-10 is the fact that the weight distrabution on it is horrible, so i hope your ready to nose plant that truck if you ever have to slam on the breaks! i am not saying this cause i discurage you from doing it, its just psysics. not sure on the spelling! ALSO! another pointer! is the fuel management system on that is power! cause its already power on a viper now your putting the engine into something heavier! YEA...milage down the drain, in my own personal option, get a 408 block! you'll never need anymore power then that! and it fits fine!

i'm guessing the v10 weighs 700lbs and the weight distrabution is going to be bad it wont have understear like the ones with the v8s. good luck its always cool when someone wants to put a v10 in a truck. hope it hauls azz!
