Updates for how project RamRunner is going, Had a lot of highs, and some lows. RamRunner got a mildly rebuilt 5.9L Magnum with a Hughes Engines cam, early Magnum exhaust manifold (2.25' outlets), a Kegger mod,A518 Overdrive with shift kit, Ford 8.8 rear end with 3:73 gears, rear disc brakes. Even got the factory Rams A/C system working. I left the engine fuel injected with the factory Ram parts, upgraded with a Tanks Inc. universal 22 gallon fuel tank.
This car was driven all summer as my daily driver... until one of the freeze plugs began leaking. Would not have been so bad, except it was the one on the rear of the block, in front of the transmission. This repair required me to pull the engine/transmission. Sooo, I figured this would be the perfect chance to UPGRADE!
