bah loli know everyone asks this etc etc
ive been debating going to the 5.2l engine
but i was told that only the 92-92 is a direct drop in for my truck found one for 800 bucks at a wrecking yard with good compression oil pres everything still need to go haggle with him but ya ..
is there a noticeable dif in power .. from the 3.9l magnum ? cause i find i have a ****load of torque in low gears already but its **** on gas milage so how much dif would the 318 be ?

do i need a new alt starter etc as well ?


Thanks

NO

Why go 318. 360 will drop right in too (With some other mods). And yes, either way, noticable difference in power. 92 up 318 will work fine. 94 up 360 will work.
V8 will still be ****ty on gas mileage.
