First test fit 5.7 truck engine
With social distancing ,no work and tracks closed I figured that now is the time to pull the 340 out of my Duster start installing my 2012 Ram 5.7 . Was hoping I would be able to use the Ram intake but after setting the motor in and squaring it up I set the intake on and found a bit of a clearance issue. I was hoping not to have spend 700 to 1000 plus for an intake . Also the active intake actuator hits the firewall. I do have an old fiberglass hood I could cut up for clearance and make a new scoop or cowl. If I could get that too work then I wouldn't have an issue cutting a pocket for the active intake actuator. Any suggestions would be helpful.
