The engine is the same, you may need to switch your oil pan and manifold and dist.

Hello, may I ask why are you taking out your 5.9 and installing a 5.2?! What's wrong with your engine and where are you located?

I was going to say I'll sell you a 5.9 shortblock with brand new stock cam(not used) with only 4,000 miles on it and then you can just install your heads, intake,sensors, etc. from your original engine. It has 8,000 miles left on the warranty! I live in chesaning, Mi if your interested.
