Hey everyone I appreciate any help you guys can give me, I got ahold of a 5.2 for my dakota but it needs rebuilt and I am having some trouble figuring out how to get to my desired result. I want to get this motor to about 350 hp and I need help deciding on heads and also which cam is going to work best with them and then injectors and basically all kinds of nonsense. I'm trying to get this stuff ironed out so I can start purchasing everything I need. Thank you for any advice you can give I'm a noob with mopar.

 

5.2 = 318 cubic inch. long lists of upgrades if you search google

 

do you want 350 at the flywheel or at the wheels? theres a huge difference in the way i would go about the build based on that answer.

 

The stock heads should do fine, just get the valves worked on. As for the easiest HP gain, do a 390 stroker

 

1.7's RR, LT's, Cam, M1, heads, bore & stroke.... the options are endless.

Or s/c'ed...

 

the cheapest and fastest way to make power is from the bottle. its a tricky game though, go too far, and you have a nice paperweight, dont go far enough..... and well, you dont go fast enough. haha
