Thinking of Retrofitting a Vararam on my 4.7

[redram2007]

Well as the title states I'm giving this some consideration. Not sure what's different in the engine compartment except different tb, and the alt and ac compressor are swapped. Being I have an aftermarket tb that has a 72mm I.D.(stock 68mm) and 4" O.D.(stock 3.5"), I think it's really close to the O.D. of the 87mm hemi tb. I'm pretty sure I can make it work, but I would hate to buy it and not be able to. So my question is does anyone have any pics of their engine bay without an air intake? And last but not least opinions, advice, pointers, pros, and cons? Help me make it happen lol.

I have seen it done a few times. What you would have to find is an tube to adapt the vararam output to the 4.7 throttle body. Not sure if anything else needs done because I did not really look at how the others did it. You might have to fabricate some mounting brackets also, but again not totally sure.

That is music to my ears. Fabricating is my specialty, but I know the vararam has the IAT port in the coupler. So if anyone can do me a favor and measure the O.D. of a stock hemi tb that would be awesome. I have read and heard nothing but good reviews on the vararam. Does anyone disagree?

I have heard both good and bad. But as far as I go unless I mess with something myself or even look at it first hand I reserve judgement.
