Awesome. So tell me if this sounds right... I should be golden with

Engine - 1998 Dodge Durango(make sure has 4x4 oil pan)
ECU, and Wiring harness - Out of an auto, 4x4 1998 or 1999 Ram, Dakota, or Durango.
Tranny - the 5.2 will bolt up to the 42re from my 3.9

 

sounds good to me.

 

that should work

 

you can always get right oilpan for your set up. try to get the computer out of a dakota with similar options as yours, etc.
