Engine + Tranny rebuild ?'s
I recently purchased a 96' Ram 1500 Ext. Cab Short Bed off my cousin, its got a 318 5.2L and an automatic tranny. The engine has 182k on and runs pretty quiet. I am looking to pick up a block with lower miles and do a rebuild on it. The truck is 2WD and my plans are to slam it on the ground after the engine/tranny swap. Any suggestions on a rebuild kit(crankshaft, pistons, rods and rings), cyl heads(preassembled prefferably), cams, intake manifold, throttle body, headers? And my question for the tranny is whats the difference in a torque converter that stalls at higher/lower rpm? Thanks your help is greatly appreciated

this link has all the parts from the bottom end to the intake and the throttle body. As for what I would recommend it all goes by how you intend to do with it. Race? Street? Smooth Idle? Its all what you want. I would personally not rebuild the motor until it broke. My bet is that your 5.2L will go to 250k miles. But its your truck man. BTW welcome to the forum |

Yeah, your engine has at least another 75k if it was treated right.
