la/magnum swap
You can still get them for the 96 Chevy Caprices. So I don't think they have been outlawed. But can't you turn that CEL off inside the PCM?
the thing is that the magnum from a 94-01 dodge is full of electronics, so you may have to pull some of the old stuff off of your old block to put onto your new one to get everything working properly. mainly its gonna be replacing the fuel injection stuff with your old carbureted stuff.
dont forget. mopar performance has a "retrofit" wiring harness for magnum engines. It was developed with mopar action magazine. Stock LA exhaust manifolds will work but use the one without an egr port. Or use the 92 -93 truck manifolds. going to a carb, use an eddy manifold designed for magnums. -
