Default 95 magnum v6 swap...

i have a 95 dodge ram i bought last year.. and a 95 van.. are the engines interchangeable.. both have the v6 magnum engine. the truck has a dakota engine right now.. if they are, is it better to put the magnum back?.. the dakota.. engine doesnt seem to fit or drive as well as it could..

The Dakota motor is a magnum also. It'll bolt right up. You might want to look into a plenum gasket problem also, IIRC the v6 has that prob also. Though not as common as the v8 magnum.
