I will move this to the 1st Generation Dakota Sub-Forum.

As for your question, basically no nothing is a simple bolt on. The best thing is to open up the intake manifold ports and heads and exhaust manifolds as well as the throttle body, which to do that you will need to grind down the interior ports with a dremmel tool and a coarse bit.

Actually the best bolt on is a 5.9 Magnum engine, it is a simple bolt on. Also drop in the 5.9 PCM. Other than that all aftermarket performance parts.

As for the PCM Ram or Van with the 5.9 Magnum V8 93-95. You can drop in the motor from 93-03 but your going to need to use your electronics.

Keep your 5.2 intake and everything above. Use the 5.9 engine block and heads complete harmonic balancer and flywheel and all.
