Did you have to weld on the motor mounts or perches? I am not familiar with the motor mount/perch system in a RAM. In the picture, it looks like a whole assembly on the passenger side?

Here you can see my 1/4 steel plates I cut, then bolted and welded to the stock cross member to work with my chevy s10/ls1 swap motor mounts...I'm sure there are other ways of doing this but this way was the best to get the motor to sit down and towards the rear like I wanted. Also I want to add that i used the 1998 corvette oil pan also known as the "batwing" pan..I am planning on swapping to a 98-02 f-body pan so I can drop the motor even further and give me more room for header options....

I hate to say it but this o'rileys parts store VHT EXOXY CHASSIS paint works very very well in re-newing a fram on a budget...to this day 3 years later the fram is still rust free...truck is kept outside and daily driven in rain, cold, snow...etc...just make sure to prep the surface well

Here is the stock 99-02 camaro relay harness....this helps control the fuel pump, rans, and computer with your stock dodge key switch....Don't get this harness confused with the ENGINE harness .......two different GM harnesses are on my truck

This was after i deleted wires such as abd, traction control, abs, cruise, etc.......I was still able to use OEM relays for my fuel pump, fans, starter soleniod......if i remember right the red is full time power and the pink is key on, but alway triple triple triple check your work!!!!!

Sorry this isn't very good detail and its poor quality but I used a 99-02 camaro cluster for all of my gauges...ended up with more gauges the the OEM dodge cluster....all of these gauges are driven from the computer and if you take your time it is VERY easy to trace down wire color and wire thisthing together.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhh2t40Jdiw
