Default Need Help on Engine Swap

Hey guys, just wanted to say Im new and a few things. First, please bear with me and my questions, Im am a mustang guy and know absolutely NOTHING about Dodge's at this point. Ive googled and yahoo'd till I cant anymore so I gave up and came here to ask this. My pops has a 94 Dak Sport 3.9 Mag auto truck. We recently found a 93 dak with a 5.2 Mag in it and is in good condition. My dads 3.9 is basically death warmed over at this point and we both think the 5.2 would be better anyways.

SO heres my question, What ALL do I need to have from the donor truck to successfully get this thing in my dads? Im extremely proficient in motor swaps and wiring so Im not worried about the labor of it. I just need to know what all I need to leave with when I go.

Im sorry for the noobish opening thread, but I would appreciate any info you guys can give me on this.

Bart

thats right, and you can reuse the trans you will need to get it built though. i agree with it being a stickey, it would be easier to find!!!!
