Well as some of you know I am a new member here and was looking for a place to place to start my build thread! So the Va section of the forum it is! So for a little fill in I have an 06 ram 1500 slt. Hemi power of course! It is a standard cab short bed. or shorty as I like to call them. I traded in my old 98 ram for this on due to it being just to flat out worn out! But the 5.2 still ran good!! So the plan for this build is both cosmetic and performance. I want a great street truck that can play at the track too! Here is a couple of current pics!

First mod was to add factory fog lights!

Next was to delete the rear bumper and tint the tail lights!!

Future plans are a Mopar A body hood scoop, a simple but striking paint job, lowering,A 518 trans,and a "few" engine mods!!!( FEW? right!!!LOL):coolsmiley: and ether a locker or limited slip diff,and lastly a set of cal tracs!

Looks good, when you go to put the injectors in, I suggest you grease them up and slip them into the injector bung and then give it a little bit of a push to seat them. The hole is reamed and tapered at the very bottom. Then install the fuel rail on the injectors. This is backward from the normal install procedure. And for all you guys who have been in prison I'm talking about fuel injector install.

I am going to use a car timing cover for my intake install. I know I will have to use car A/C pump alt and power steering pump. But any one know if my underdrive crank pulley will work with the car timing cover?

Don't hold me to this, but I remember something about the belt grooves being different.

Also there is a better selection of lengths available for 6 rib than 7 rib.

You are right. The truck assembly is spaced further out from the block. I originally had a crank pulley for a car sent to me with my build but didn't realize it till after I installed my other pulleys.

Fuel systems are actually fun as there are so many different designs you can use.

Sweet! when will you install it? Are you going to use an elbow connected to a CAI or something tricky?

Keep us updated with pictures.
Edit: I got to looking on ebay and there is a used set of 4g fuel rails. I hadn't seen these before, but look like they would be easy to modify into some crazy cool looking rails.
