The magnum will bolt directly to the stock V6 motor mounts........ Mine is a 87 and 4wd, but the 5.9 bolts right in. Headers, not for sure...... I used stock manifolds due to shortys being the only thing available for the 4wd V8.
Hooker used to make a model 5803, but I think its discontinued. https://www.jegs.com/i/Hooker-Headers/520/5803/10002/-1
Look forward to watching your build!!
