Question for you, I have been debating how to go about this swap and I have a friend that has a dealers license that can get me into auctions for salvaged vehicles. If you had to do this again do you think buying a rolled ram with a Hemi and 8 speed would be more cost beneficial in the long run? and possibly cut down on the number of parts needed?
