Ok, well here are a bunch of pics of the RMS and motor install, first some info.

1- oil pan on crate hemis wont fit the alterkation( who reads instructions lol) had to buy a milodon 7 quart pan & pick-up
2- pick-up does not screw into the block like normal, there is a bolt on adapter to get the tube out of the way of the crank (stroker), so had to cut and weld on new deeper pick-up
3- had to remove both vavle covers to get by frames (if stock k-frame is used i think one would be enough).

other than that it took 30 minutes to pick the car up and roll it in and bolt it up, like alan and others have said i will never do it another way again.
in place everything fit really nice lots of clearence everywhere, so im pretty pumped that it is in.I need about an inch more clearence on the breather set-up, the back of it is fine it's just where the brace runs across where it hits, need to do some thinking as i would like to use it so i will see how it goes.

I don't know what I'm more excited for, hearing that baby start up like everyone else or seeing it towed down the street behind your big rig!!! :2thumbs:

 Hey thanks guys getting close to firing it up, back at work but will be home on the 20th for sometime off which will give me some needed time on the car. I have to get rid of the stuff I don't need on the truck like the motor,rear end and front axle then I can build a cart so I can get it in the garage
