finding 5.2 parts difficulty?
So eventually I wanna do 5.2 swap...
This new pick n pull yard opened and I went the other day and they have 7 or 8 1st gen Dakota , some with 5.2, anyways what I'm getting at, is what are the hard parts to find for swap? What should I go ahead and get now? These vehicles haven't been touched yet

I think the only difficult thing to find is the 46rh 4x4 which came on the V8 4x4's 92-95 usually they are the first thing to go and they are beat up. If you got the money time and space go ahead and buy them. I would say rebuild then when they are ready drop them in. Your going to want the engine 100% complete.

Yes they are interchangeable. But not recommended to put the V6 transmission (42rh) behind the V8 it will not last, remember Dodge didn't put it behind the V8 for a reason.
Putting the V8 transmission (46rh) behind the V6 is just fine, more strength.
And technically you can put a 2wd transmission on a 4wd but you got to use a divorced transfercase or swap output shafts with a 4wd transmission.
And you can put a 4wd transmission on a 2wd but custom mount and driveshaft.
