The only thing that limits what you can do are time and money. If someone can stuff a 540 c.i. Chevy motor into a tiny Opel GT, then I'm pretty sure you can get a V10 Viper engine into a Dodge Ram. Mind you that's a full custom install.

It's never minor changes. Engine swaps have to be done wright. If the shop botches it, you be in alot of trouble.
