figured i would start a build thread
my plan is to use a chrysler egh v6 and a NSG370 6 speed. the 3.3L is my choice, a great mixture of gas mileage and power.
i will me going over what fabrications have to be done, what to use, where to buy parts, and what 'customizations' i did to personalize it.
so far i have the following required things listed:
-engine mount brackets
-radiator with fans (no fan on engine)
-nsg 370 transmission mount and crossmember section
-custom driveshafts
-custom exhaust system
-rerouted intake
-custom wiring harness
-gauge cluster remap and adapter(s)
what i am customizing:
-reused factory muffler, modified to 2 1/4 inch inlet/outlet
-custom center console and bucket seats: requires custom shifter
-custom ecu tune
-larger injectors
-32" tires and 20" or 22" wheels
-front leveling kit (montero control arms and keyed torsion beams)
-custom gauge cluster with digital gauges, 140 speedo, and 8k tachometer, custom gauge face and color theme
-custom interior recolor (black/green-orange colorshift with white accents and white stitching) leather upholstery
-custom wrap (flat black with green-orange colorshift tribal stripes and gloss black / white-orange colorshift accent stripes)
-Suspension/frame repaint (completely flat black and rubberized undercoating under the cab and bed and in the fender wells
-'Sport II Limited' badging
-spray in bed liner
Budget: $15,000
Wallet: Enough
Estimate: about $5,000 in engine work, $5,000 in appearance customizations
most of this build thread is going to be exactly how to put an EGH V6 into a power ram 50, which is absolutely ridiculous. and im sure someone else MIGHT do this sometime in the future. Maybe this will be a valuable resource to them. If not ill have this to look back on as a memory.

just gotta give it a weapons grade clean and some port work, some tidying up in the valve bowls and it'll run super smooth
