ok so i have a 97 1500 RCSB ram.. and i have a CRAPPED out 360.. has anyone swapped in a cummins 12v auto setup in a RCSB? i am looking for good towing for my camaro and other small stuff.. ... i am not worried about the skill level involved.. and time i am not worried about also.. BUT wondered if it would all bolt up? IE motor mounts and BLA.... plan is to get a 2500 cummins 12v rollover chassis or something and basicly just swap EVERYTHING harness's ect then drop it 3/5 on 20's... what do yall think

 

short answer...no. A lot of money and fabrication would be involved.

 

i have read other place's its a bolt in as far as engine and trans possibly some repining of the harness in place's and swapping some other stuff..

 

go to the cummins forum cant remember the exact name but it has been done and it takes new parts such as mounts and what not but i believe it will fit still

 

The Cummins weighs more than what the back of a 1/2 ton can handle and will utterly destroy the front end of a '97 1500. Every RCSB Dodge diesel I've seen have been a shortened 2500 chassis. This would be your best bet other than building your shot 360 into a new, shiny 408.

 

i will not call you stupid.. i think you are a very smart young man with a very good head on his shoulders.. you will do well in life.. i love you and please call me back
