OK NOW WERE COOKING WITH BUTTER. I have been sending emails to Dodge at their website dodge.com and asking for the return of the ramcharger or townwagon or townpanel and all I ever get as a response is "not enough demand to build even a prototype." So please do us all a favor and email them at the contact us part of their website and tell them you want one. The other part of this Is to let you know that The C.T.D. will fit any truck/suv where the big block will ie 440cid-383cid. I have been in on 2 different C.T.D. installs one in a 86' pickup and one in a 88 Ramcharger. Experenice(can't spell) has taught me, 1.remove the old engine and put in a big block first, you don't need to get it up and running but It helps when you go to putting the tranny and all the engine mounts in the right places and then you don't have to worry about hurting the C.T.D. while you are getting the positioning correct. 2 If you can't get the big block in with all the clearances for it's parts then you will never get the C.T.D. in the hole you are trying to get it to, won't happen just stop yourself before you buy the C.T.D. 3. DO NOT use the old tank and gas lines. WE did on the truck and until we switched them out the new ones had all kinds of problems with fuel and yea just don't do it. other then that give it a shot.
