99 ram 4x4 build
Ok I am new to the mopar seen. And starting a mopar project. So here we go. I have bought a 99 ram 1500 4x4 and planning to go BIG with it. I have already updated the trany. Will be ether building my own lift or buying a aftermarket lift . But I am looking for advice on motor goodies. It has a stick 5.9 in it and I was planning on having it rebuild or maybe buying a create motor any suggestions.

Are you going to be dealing with any Emission Programs were you are at? if not? that a +.... But if you got to run the cat's, that will take a little different input... :)
|
Welcome.
I would do a hot compression test and/or leak down test first to access the engine. If ok, doing a cam, head and manifold improvement can make 400 HP/TQ easy. |
Well I have been thinking I was going to stroke it. Had not thought about the emissions. This is a street and weekend fun/ hunting truck. But it will not be legal in my state
|
Ok..
Are you planning on just off highway roading or Mudding the bad boy? |
Ok more info.... I want to stay with an injected motor. I will be going Big and bad ass. 40x15.50 tires maybe bigger. Gear change is an option. I lots of heavy duty body mods. Will need hp and More torc.

Yes and no Bob it's more for show but I'm from the school of if you have it and the op comes up to play then I'll play
|
Boy... That a Wide bill to fill.... lol
But just my 2 cents.... Budget is going to dictate where you head. My first thought was>>> and then it went bigger as we chatted... 1. Stroker Small Block 2. 500hp Stroker Then I ended up with 3. Procharged EFI small block with ether a MegaSquirt efi or a Big Stuff system. But at this point I would think your going to be moving to 5 ton Diff's and a Drive train re-work.... At that point... Diesel Power Baby... Sooooooo....Budget Wise..... I'd go with the Stroker Small Block... build your own... Or do something like a MRL or IMM or JMS Built Motor... Just food for thought... My 2 cents only..... Keep us posted... we are here to help you do the Brain storming..... :) |
I like MRL's 416 build.... But I'm not sure where he is at with the EFI on these at the moment.....
|
Yeah I kinda want to stay stock appearing. Lol as much as possible. Love the diesel idea but want to stay gas. 5 tons are out although bad ass. Just want a resto mod. With my stock platform
|
408 Stroker would be my vote in that case.... :)
Keep us posted... :) |
Ok I need suggestions on best parts to go with . Heads , intakes injection tuners cams exc.
|
Good to start penciling a base together.... But the Question becomes " do you have a reputable Mopar engine builder that you can deal with" ? If you do great.
