I have a 91 dakota 5.2,what would I have to do to swap in a 5.8 magnum motor?
what are the differences in the 91 5.2 and the 5.2 or 5.8 magnum?
would magnum heads fit on a non-magnum motor?
would a magnum intake fit on non-magnum heads?
would my same computer and wiring harness in my 91 work with a 5.8 magnum?

 

I thought the swap was to a 5.9 But there is a whole FAQ section about this

 

yes it is a 5.9

 

Almost everything is the same from LA blocks to magnum blocks. The motor mount location are the same. Some LA's were different tho. The head bolt pattern is the same. I think just need to drill a oil hole. The intakes are different. So you can use a magnum long block and use your heads and a intake. For all the details check out the FAQ2 and Allpar.com will give you the differences in between them.
