Happened upon this forum today and decided to sign up. Doing one of the craziest mods a V-10 install. Not just anyone though. Half-Viper and Half-Magnum!
Wait a second....the V10 out of a Ram is compatible with everything fro ma 5.9 Durango, and a V10 out of a Viper is T-56 only?...???? Yes all of the Magnum v-10's are the same. The SRT-10 Ram's use a Gen 3 Viper engine. Only difference is with the quadcabs bell housing, it matches the 48RE instead of the t-56.
Well I actually have a Magnum V-10 and a Gen 3 Viper engine here. Went with the Magnum V-10 because it has 0.25" more deck height. Same motor mounts as the 5.9L. Same bell housing as well. Weighs 130lbs more than the Viper block. This is a Durango so the goal is not to run 7's it is to surprise the hell out of those SRT-10 Ram owners and maybe a few of those Viper guys as well.:nana:
Yea but will a 46RE bolt up to a V10 from a Ram? Meaning, the V10 from a Ram and from a Viper are slightly different in which the T-56 bolts to the Viper version not the Ram version?What?!?!?
The Gen 3 Viper engines are used in the SRT-10 Ram's The regular cabs use the t-56 tranny and a identical to the Gen 3 Viper's. The Quadcab's were too heavy for the t-56 so the Viper's bellhousing was modified (1 pin location) for the 48RE to bolt to it.
The Magnum Iron Block V-10's 94-03 are heavily based upon the 5.9L whatever they could reuse they did. Just like the Gen 4 Vipers use 6.1L Hemi parts!
