ok so i got the 5.2 in my 96 2500.... getting 5inch lifted soon... have the pipes on... 36inch x 12.5 on the boots.... but so so so boored of the 5.2........ i was just wandering if i could do a hemi swap in that and house much would it cost cause i only have a decent job.. and if not possible wat i could do with my buck to soup up the 5.2 i got... thnxs

 

Swap in some gears instead. Go with some 4:56 or 4:88 gears and smile again!

Anything is possible and to swap in a Hemi I'm sure is but that comes at a price (likely a BIG one). Gears are far cheaper than a Hemi swap would be and will yield an equally surprising result, especially with 36" tires.

What is so boring about the 5.2. Dont blame the motor, blame your tires.

 

ok cool.... dont know much about gearing though not gnna lie,,, also failed to tell that its a stick 5 speed.... is there a good company to order from...

 

Randy's Ring and Pinion.

 

i didnt know any 2500s came with a 5.2.
Gears would be a good idea anyway. If you're going to match 35" tires to that 5"lift, you'll probobly want to get a set of 4.56s
If you are still wanting more power after the gears, you can either swap in a 5.9 which has a considerable amount more torque, or you can stroke either your 5.2, or a 5.9. Any of these would be much easier and cheaper than doing a HEMI swap..... but not nearly as cool. If you have unlimited money, do the HEMI! lol

 

this is wat im seeing
dana 80 4:10 upstanderd
dana 80 3:73 dwn standerd
dana 80 4:10 up wit abs

 

No 2500 came with anything smaller than a 360. Must be a mistake.

Buy a 2.2 S10. Cheaper than a Hemi, and levels the Ram's power out.

 

nope its a 2500 and its a 5.2... i know that for sure...

 

i dont know what your looking at, but you dont have a Dana 80. Im pretty sure all the gas 2500s got a Dana 60
