here are some pictures:




EDIT:
Also order a k & n drop in filter from napa. Should be here wednesday.

 

you should take the fan and fan shroud off before you pull the motor. it will give you more room to slide it forward when bringing it out.

 

Not for the v6, but I will maybe for the v8, but here is another photo:

Got the v6 out today tomorrow goes in the v8.

 

Well I was looking at the v6 engine. And it has a holley v6 throttle body! lol.

 

those came stock until 98, then dodge started making their own. how is the swap comming? lets see some pics of the 5.9.

 

Wasn't able to do anything today, but I will get some pictures of the engine, you will see how similar the engines actually are. Pretty much identical. Just bigger, well longer. The fly wheel is the same, bolt patterns, ect.. I should take some pictures just to reassure people. But it's going pretty good I think fast will be fast in than out.

I did almost get the engine it, but I did remove the rad, and fan, it seemed difficult with this in the way so I just took it out. Unfortunately I need 4 chains to get it to sit in properly, so I have to wait till tomorrow to get it in properly. I need the front a lot higher than the rear, also someone told me I needed to grind down brackets, but I don't think I do because mine is 4x4.

 

I just got done with a 3.9 to 5.2 swap on my 96 2wd. It is not as fun as you may think, lol. i just barely got some of the stuff to plug in because the engine is longer, mabey it is different on the newer daks though. but let me know if you have any questions on anything else, it is worth it in the end!!!

 

Just got the v8 in! Sits in there nice lots of room. Hope to get it running by tomorrow.

 

Look how much space there is. There isn't a radiator there but there is a lot of room.
