Default 3.9 to 5.9

i gotta 93 automatic 4x4 with a 3.9l. motors starting to sound a little rough and kinda doing some plannin ahead. if im gonna swap motors im gonna do it right. and im wondering if i would need to change my tranny to go to 5.9l? would it bolt up and would my tranny take the extra power?

Mopar Action Magizine is doing an artical on it. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176114

Your tranny would bolt up. The tranny would need to be upgraded to handle the higher power.
