A carbed Hemi crate motor will bolt up to your trans but I don't know if the clutch will.

well brian at first it was the cam sensor then the crank sensor. after that it was the oil pressure unit then the actuall oil pump. now im have a bad valve guide and i think a worn crank bearing. also my driver side window started to screw up now.

I lost a carbed 318 to a bad oil pump - it won't help with that or the problem with your window. Also a carbed motor will have less power than what you are running now, unless you with a performance build up; and that will cost you fuel milage. Might be better to fix what you have. Injected motors have more power, and generally run better.

Are you talking about a utility bed ? Very boxy looking with doors to acces storage compartments ? Or something different ? The Cummins motors are great.

something completely different. it looks just like a regular dodge ram bed from the factory but the side fold up from that lower body line to the bed rail.
