Follow this link & check the time of the first & 3rd posts-then finish reading the complete post. This may change your mind about doing a cam install.
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...r-install.html. You might want to also check the Forum about installing new gaskets on the 'kegger' intake.
EVERY Magnum engine that Mopar ever built v6,or v8 had a problem with a plenum chamber leak-sucking oil from the engine blowing it right thru the exhaust system. Might wanna search for some posts on that repair as well. Good luck.

I put an intake manifold on mine with a EFI, and a 20-746-9 cam,6.1 lifters with 61775 heads in a 89 Dakota. Looking for a transmission that will hold up
