Default 3.9L performance upgrade help

i was reading this article:
http://www.allpar.com/mopar/39.html
saw that in 92 the started multiple port injection which gave a little more power

i was at the junkyard today and found that there were 6-7 1st gen dakotas.
2-3 of them had full intact c6 magnum engines, not sure of the years but if i could get my hands on some 92 or up muliple port injectors how would i go about installing them.

im not too sure on what exactly the injectors are or look like but i am very mechanical and could probably figure it out, and what other parts on the v6 magnum would give me a bit more power

It is not as simple as you think. You have 2 injectors to feed 6 cly, the Magnums use 6 injectors to feed 6 cylinders. You would need complete wiring harness computer fuel injectors and rail maybe higher output pump. All of that plus you would need the magnum intake and head and modify lots of stuff.

The best option is to swap in a COMPLETE Magnum engine, if your looking for power might as well do a V8 Magnum swap.
