Luv ❤ how Holley and Hooker Headers have recognized your Mastery of Mopar World 🌎. I should say great companies recognize excellence in what you do. Your OCDness will make this an awesome truck in the end. ....great 2nd gen.
Overload springs probably were flipped for better weight transfer for drag racing at the track , those springs put back together with overloads back to proper way may still be good for someone that doesn’t carry any loads !! Could sell them John . Transmission came out nice after you stripped paint off it looks way better now!! Im very curious how thats going to be for rpm wise at highway speeds with jus a 3 speed 727 trans ? Unless it has 355 gears an not the 392 maybe it be ok but … It was really nice to see the track runs you did with the hellcat truck nice to see you outa the shop for a change need more videos outa the shop once an while 😁 Im enjoying this sst build very much !! 👍
I anxiously wait for you to get to buying, installing and wiring the electronics. Please share a detailed list of the components it takes to run a hemi in an older truck.
racking my brain about back in the day. something is telling me flipping or removing the overload spring was done when using old school style Lakewood style traction bars.
I've had great results with stock 392 manifolds on 5.7 Trucks. If you're not going max effort, they are great over the expense for headers. Just a thought.
Yes I have a 95 and is still going after 28 years of driving I just changed the timing chain because it was making noise rattling I made the work my self and is so easy todo mechanical work they have a lot of room to work on
Need to get a small sandblaster for some of your smaller jobs removing paint. Trans definitely needs painted either black or the same blue as the stripes.
Hell yea! Looking sweet! Reminds me of the helkota build. Oh wait is that a super charger? Only thing I’d say is ditch the 3 speed and install a 6 or 8 speed auto? Or maybe a 6 speed manual?

There are 2 kinds of 727's. Internal or external balanced, done with the flywheel. Do you know which one you have? I went through that headache with my 68 charger.
SS/T really didn't have anything special from the factory. It was mainly an appearance package. The only add ons from the factory that was different from other 94-01 rams was a muffler and tailpipe, as well as the wheels and stripes. No suspension differences. Looking forward to more videos. I starting to lean towards swapping a hemi into my 98 SS/T.
Very nice progress bro. Looking forward to the next video. Can you start out with naturally aspirated performance mods for those of us who want be able to afford turbo charger, or a supercharger setup? Will you put an engine oil cooler system on it as well? I think that is always a good idea when doing these type of mods, you are able to run extra amounts of oil, 😃 it’s kinda like an insurance policy. I know Holley has some of that stuff. ❤ the work!
What would be a better engine for a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 4wd a 5.7 or a 6.4 with a forged MMX drop in piston combo cause eventually after hemi swap the 4x4 may want to boost it
You should do a giveaway where you hemi swap someone else's truck. Would make great content and I for one would 1000% enter for my 06 4.7 6 speed single cab would appreciate it 😂
I agree on painting the trans now

Looks good under the hood 💪💪
They flipped the springs to allow the springs to squat for drag racing.
People used to do that for a softer ride when not hauling any weight
I think they drag raced this ss/t truck back in the day and weaken the leaf springs maybe.
I would like to see it with the 8 speed because this is what I want to do to my 2nd gen
I was feeling 6.4 exhaust manifolds, 6.4 cam, 6.4 intake, and a 100 shot of nitrous.
Nice so far though.
Need 2 cover the trans in clear coat.
On the leafspring pack they flipped the helper an heated the spring pack old way of lowering

check out diyhemi channel.buddies got it down even sells harness2go
going to be a sweet little runner when its complete. If I wasn't purchasing a home I'd be all over it.

You inspire me to work on my 2018 express 😎
Builds like this got me excited just acquired a 94' 1500 can't wait to swap it! Thanks for the motivation!
Overload springs where flip for weight transfer at the track
Gawdamn brother would you just look at that!!👌 Freaking minty man.
Yessirrrrrr 💪
Great adventure..
THUMBS UP !
Looks sick bro but definitely would paint the transmission too
cool truck
This is coming along well! I wish I had the funds because I’d love to purchase it when complete. I know you’ll have this thing running right!
Looks like factory and clean now. Great build and project. 😎
Maybe the leaf springs bowed when they were drag racing the SS/T? It had no cal tracs or ladder bars. 🔧🔩
Dude your beast man you do everything right and so well and the videos are always edited so well man. I really enjoy your content man good job!
I appreciate that!
Fr this man's Inspiring
I know a few of us would flip the overload when we lowered those dodge's back in the early 2000's to soften the ride
Nice build! Keep the sst wheels and do a 4th gen rack and pinion!
I like this project, I'm always looking forward to the next step.
Dang that block needs some paint on it to be in an engine bay that clean.
I have been thinking about swapping a 2nd generation ram myself. Love the content!
It is a pretty bad ass swap but a 1st gen might take the cake 👀
I love this build, It would be sweet with an 8 speed. It would give much better drivability
No lie bro
Yes I have a 95 and is still going after 28 years of driving I just changed the timing chain because it was making noise rattling I made the work my self and is so easy todo mechanical work they have a lot of room to work on

Coming along great! Always looking forward to the updates
Paint it for sure.
The project is coming together nicely!👍😀
looking good....cool build .....
Truck is going to badass.
Nice video again as always brother. you should 8 speed swapp it. Can't wait to see this baby rocking
I have a 97 2wd and a 6.4 waiting and watching.
Awesome progress. Can't wait for more. Definitely paint the transmission.
Hell yea! Looking sweet! Reminds me of the helkota build. Oh wait is that a super charger? Only thing I’d say is ditch the 3 speed and install a 6 or 8 speed auto? Or maybe a 6 speed manual?
Dude you are a one man machine
Have you considered some electric cut-outs for it?
Yes I have a 95 and is still going after 28 years of driving I just changed the timing chain because it was making noise rattling I made the work my self and is so easy todo mechanical work they have a lot of room to work on
The overload leafs came from the factory in that position.
have a price in mind when its done?
Coming out amazing John I can’t wait to see it all finished and hopefully going down the track!!!!
You should change the steering to a 3rd gen rack/pinion. So much better with minimal effort. That way you have plenty of room for your ac compressor.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
looks good excited to see it runnin 😮💨
I think you should keep the factory wheels just to keep the original look.
There are 2 kinds of 727's. Internal or external balanced, done with the flywheel. Do you know which one you have? I went through that headache with my 68 charger.
Where can I get that engine mounts ?
"if we ever want to put a hellcat blower on here"... we want 😂
i kind of like the patina exterior
Should run a 6.4l truck intake , they flow better and swap to a 6.4l factory camshaft . Cheap power and factory parts
Which version of the hooker headers are those?
This 2nd gen is gonna be badass
SS/T really didn't have anything special from the factory. It was mainly an appearance package. The only add ons from the factory that was different from other 94-01 rams was a muffler and tailpipe, as well as the wheels and stripes. No suspension differences.
Looking forward to more videos. I starting to lean towards swapping a hemi into my 98 SS/T.
ONDGAS should hit you up, they have a slammed 2nd gen they were looking for a hellcat swap ,That would be good content with the texas boys
get a limited slip diff 💨Ⓜ️
So the springs are sacked out? Lol!
Cant wait to see this done. What color is the Dakota painted? What year Hemi engine is installed in this? THx
Carven all the way for exhaust
What model year of mounts are being used in this video? The more i watch of this series, the more im leaning towards hemi swapping my 98 SS/T.
Just curious why not go with a 8 speed? Not sure if you covered that or not
Curious why you're not going with the trans that came in the truck originally? Or even the 512?
Lookin Good👍
Good job
Love it!! Thanks for sharing man 👌🏻😎

Any ideal on how to chat about purchasing?
I am interested in putting a hellcat engine in a third gen but it 4 wheel drive
Is it the OEM for the 2nd gen dodge or the 3rd gen?
Those wheels are indy ram and sst only if you decide to sell let me know I fave 2 indy rams
Paint the trans. Please. Black.
why use the old transmission for the HEMI🤔
What would be a better engine for a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 4wd a 5.7 or a 6.4 with a forged MMX drop in piston combo cause eventually after hemi swap the 4x4 may want to boost it
5.7 stroked and bored out to a 397 imo honestly
6.4L HEMI
Why wouldn’t you do old school motor on the 2nd gen? It would be way cooler build
I use bread to remove callers
What motor mounts are you using?
OEM style mount. We sell the mounts with install instructions. Email boostedmotorsports88@gmail.com
DO IT! I know your OCD is working on you
This project gets more and more interesting loving it 😌👌🏽 #BSTEDMTRSPRTS
You should do a giveaway where you hemi swap someone else's truck. Would make great content and I for one would 1000% enter for my 06 4.7 6 speed single cab would appreciate it 😂
i would replace it
Paint it
Based on your scientific test, i bet the owner flipped the spring to soften the rear suspension so it would hook better on the track
🤔🚫🧢💯💪🙏🎬🎤🍿📸🚐☁️🥶👿
👍💪
it's a Dodge
machine grey or take her down to her birthday suit
Another awesome job buddy! I can't wait to see the end results! She's going to be beautiful! GOD BLESS YOU! Keep up the good work!
That’s a 4th gen hemi
lol no such thing bubba 😂
Don’t paint the exterior, leave it looking like that and race it!
Your 🏳️🌈 if you sell it 2nd gens are elite
HELL YEAH BROTHER...
THAT'S what I'm talking about...
