94 3.9l to 5.2l swap please help
I have a 94 dodge Dakota sport 3.9l v6 auto and im wanting to swap in a 318 v8 I know theres a million threads on this but I want real info from people who have done the swap. heres the information im interested in
- what tools are needed
- what am I going to need besides the complete motor and wiring harness
- will I need the pcm from the donor truck
- how long should it take with the right tools
- will my v6 trans hold up im pretty sure its a 46 re but if someone knows forsure please let me know I know its 4 speed with o/d
- what are my transmission build options, how hard would a 5 speed swap with the 318 be

you have the 42RH trans. RE trans didn't go in until 96' with OBDII. you will need pcm and either your trans rebuilt or a donor RH model. standard swap tools. wrenches sockets pliers cherry picker etc etc.
5 speed swap is easily possible with enough time and tools but you will want to get an NV3500 from a newer dakota. the older AX-15 will require some work to handle the torque.
