It will and Novak has some motor mounts for some v8s. I would just get a 5speed dodge ram trans because its bolt on, no electronics, and better. Lots of work though

With the 4.00bs I'll already stick out 1.25 inches. Stock wheels are 5.25bs if I'm
Not mistaken. 3.5 will be a little to wide of a stance. Assuming my math is right and it's not my strongest subject

Just speaking from a Clarence stand point I do believe josh had 3.75 and I have 3.5 with 35s but overall it's your call gotta remember 33s and 35s might rub

A chevy small block fits nicely plenty of bolt on support much simpler in long run.
