Burma Auto in Riviera Beach, Florida is responsible for building this unique 1992 Dodge Ramcharger. The factory V8 has been replaced by a 8.3 L V10 taken from a “2004 SRT-10”. I don’t know if that means a Viper SRT-10 or Ram SRT-10. Maybe a sharp-eyed reader can let us know. The engine was installed using 2004 Viper mounts with the passenger side just bolting in. The driver side mount needed a stand made from a modified 318 ci mount to fill in the gap. I wasn’t able to find anymore information on the transmission or rear end. Of course that doesn’t take away from such a unique project.
The craigslist ad linked in the BangShift article appears to be fake because the Ramcharger grill and bumper in the ad is completely different than the one from Burma Auto. The one photo of the engine bay showing the V10 was captured off the video above.

Sharp eye viewer can let you know what engine it came from? Did you guys even look at the pictures you posted with it 😉
I assume you are implying it is a Viper engine from the valve covers? The Dodge Ram SRT-10 engine also had valve covers with “Viper” on them.
Or you could judge by the color and roughness of the block on the mounting pictures.
I’d say it’s a viper block, alluminum block.
In my defense, I don’t know how looks the iron block, but judging by the looks of normal iron blocks, it is more rough than the alluminum beautys.
Thank you. But did the Ram SRT-10 also come with an aluminum block?
Yes it did come with an aluminum block
Yes RAM SRT-10 had aluminum engine block just like Viper. In fact V10 in theRAM SRT-10 is completely identical to V10 in the Viper. I guess he confused it with V10 from 1990’s RAM’s. Those indeed had iron blocks. But that was a different engine.
Thanks for clarifying. So then the only way to tell them apart would be to look up their serial number?
Motors are exactly the same the SRT-10 ram and viper motor are exactly the same only difference is the drive line and the manifolds the Old ram v10 is an iron block not the srt10
You can clearly tell a pick up truck motor v10 from srt10 v10. There is a fair amount of difference visually from each other.
