@prican_2000 if you’re not looking to run 11s-12s and just wanting to be able to jump in your car and go wherever you want, if I were you, I’d do like BadAss71 did and buy a running/driving 2wd Ram and swap the 5.9, trans, fuel pump module, gauge cluster, wiring, etc. all into my car. And you could put another cam and eq or edlebrock heads on it for a performance bump and still have the benefits of fuel injection and an overdrive transmission.

Here’s a link to his build thread.
What have I got myself in to? Denver here we come!!

Oh, did I mention he got 25mpg Highway with this setup?

A freakin Great mention! And yes, even a small minor cam swap will still net you very good mileage. On a deal like this, you need not a big cam for a great return when your building a driver/cruiser. If you have ever driven a Durango, you'll remember for a heavy tub it moved pretty good backin the day. Often equipped with 3.55 gears, in your A body, the reduced tire size is like ading gear and the weight difference is big, sorry, I ment to say, BIG!
