trust me on one thing little man, if i want to do it, i dont need to come on here and ask if it can be done, i just go out and do it.
i gave you the answer you need to hear,
but here, im'a go ahead and give you what you should hear
in order to swap a 5.9 in place of your 5.2. you gonna need motor mounts, pcm, a different trans (or an adapter plate), im not 100% sure if the injectors will swap over or not,
thats off the top of my head, and im drunk, still type better than you.
im only assuming you cant do it... i hope you dont take offense, but if you do, i really don't care,

First of all stop the fighting or else I will close this thread.
Yes you can. If you are going from a 5.2 magnum to a 5.9 Magnum. Then yes you can. Very simple. Just swap in the long block with the harmonic balancer to the flex-plate. No welding or cutting or modifying of any kind. EVERYTHING WILL work. I have done it. EVERYTHING is the same! From motor mounts to oil pan to transmission bell housing. The only issue you may run into, is that the computer will not give you 100% as a stock 5.9 computer will. Maybe around 90%. And thanks to the sensors the computer will adjust the timing and fuel ratios to keep it good.
