Hey. Im getting a 1999 5.2l 1500 from my grandfather and i waswondering if it ispossible to bore and stroke the 5.2lto a5.9l. From what i have readthey are the same block and use the same heads, intake,and tb.So if i was able to bore andstroke it i could just put those parts back on it. Has anyone ever done thisorknow someone who has? Also whatelsewould i have to swap out?Anyinput would be great thanks.

 

Even better, you can stroke a 318 out to a 390. They sell kits for it. That would be a better way to go in my opinion.

 

how much would something like that cost??

 

Really? who sells kits for it and how much are they? btw im only 15 and don't know to much about dodges because i grew up with chevys. so i might ask some questions that seem very obvious to you.

 

KRC sells them, for example:

thats what im after , one of many projects... before you know it got 4500 in the motor...LOL..

 

Does anyone know who makes a 360 stroker kit? or if im going to do it do you think i should just go to the 390? how much better is the performance of the 390 than the 360?

 

IF your dead set on a 360 your better off to buy an actual 360 or trade your 318 for one. Also i dont think you gonna notice that big of a gain from switching from a 318 to 360. you can make your 318 run like 360 with only a few mods. aimforsquirrels and Silver_Dodge have 318's and they seem to happy with them. I have a 318 and hate it because its bone stock and i think there's something wrong with it. Im gonna try and drive another dodge with a 318 and see how it runs, to see if its my truck that just sucks or that all stock 318's suck

 

 

So if i buy the short block and put the heads, intake, and tb on the new one everything will work properly? and do i have to get a new computer for it? where would i find that and how much would it cost me? also should i get a valve job while im at it? the engine only has about 70,000 miles on it.
