360 la to magnum efi
hi, i have a 1995 dodge dakota 5.2l that took a crap on me. i got a 91 360 la block with tbi. is it possible for me to use my heads, intake, distributor, pcm and throttle body as long as i use this adapter for the crank sensor?

im looking to increase the performance of the motor, and using my 318 magnum is not possible cause the bottom end is toast. i just want to know if using these parts will work and the motor will run. its basically just swapping top ends.
i know using magnum heads on a la block will increase performance a little, so if this works there's a little gain there
any info helps!

Sell someone with an old school that 360, and buy a Magnum 5.2 or 5.9.
Also, start at http://magnumswap.com and see what they say, specifically about the "Use LA parts on a Magnum" (the considerations are mostly there going the OTHER way around too!); the parts CAN be swapped, but there's gotchas if you don't plan ahead.

Going to take more than just bolting the heads and intake onto the block....new pushrods, lifters, etc. Read the sticky here:

I'd find a Magnum motor to swap for that blown 5.2 Magnum; if you find one, you can use the PCM that's in the truck for a 5.2 easy peasy (that's about a Duh!).
It'll work for a 5.9, but it may run out at the max of a 5.9's grunt.
