LQ4 Dodge Ram!!!
If I can make a suggestion, unless you like a lot of vibration in your driveline and the rest of your vehicle, get some rubber or urethane mounts for the engine and transmission. Having no flex in them will cause premature failures in either block or transmission due to the excessive vibration. Think drag racing, guys that use solid mounts usually have the body stiffened up with roll cage to prevent twisting. Friend kept busting C4 tailshaft housings til he put a rubber trans mount in, allowed the motor/trans to flex enough on launch he quit busting housings.
My bad then... Thought that was a piece of box steel when I scanned through the pictures.
You are definitely gonna have an easy to work on engine!!
Will be about the same as my 97 F150 project I will be embarking on later this year if the 4.2 is a dead horse.

I'll be excited to get this thing on a scale and weigh it. Hopefully under 4000.
haha yeah I may need that. Dont forget the LS7 maf too. If you needed to change some table thing but i guess that would be after the break in.

Verdad Gallardo Id start keeping an eye out on the classifieds on here then. I picked up my 6.0 lq4 short block for $250. May just be worth it to put a 6.0 in it and be done with it.
Well folks the truck finally runs!!! Need to get an exhaust on it so a decent tune can be done. Truck has good oil pressure. Had a "minor" trans cooler line leak but took care of that.
Also steering box input shaft seal has a leak. But thats to be expected with a 25+ year old truck with stock seals. Picked up a new seal kit.

Heres a little better video today. Truck fired right up. My leaking steering box seemed to have went away. Going to do a filter change and top of the oil. Need to get somewhat of an exhaust on to get a tune.
For those that are keeping tabs.... Truck runs really good, just working the bugs out of the tune..been a pain trying to clean up the mess that the previous tuner did in the PCM.
Did some driving around today. Fixing bugs here and there with the truck. Getting closer. Got some temp exhaust installed. 2.5" glasspacks right off the headers and a wideband. It will get a real system eventually.Doesn't even sound like an LS motor.

been a bit since my last update. Toasted the trans pump rotor idling into a parking lot. Had that fixed. Decided to upgrade all my trans cooler lines to -6an line. Have been waiting on those lines to come in. Hopefully I can get back to some tuning soon.
Have you considered buying a set of LS HEMI heads?? lol
