Well... those parts would work... but only if I had the round connectors. I have a 2001 therefore I have the square connectors. But thanks for trying

That post has nothing helpful in it. Catalytic converters are required by federal law. Yes there are ways around it... you want to pay the massive fine by all means go ahead and pay it.

If you have nothing good to contribute to this thread please post elsewhere. Making my thread derail will do nothing but get you banned in a hurry.

Not sure where you are at with this problem, but one thing to consider is when you are mating a Magnum V8 to the trans it is easy to bend the crank position sensor bracket. The sensor needs to sit in a predefined location near the flexplate so it can generate proper pulses.

The engine and transmission came out and went back in together. I also pulled the crank sensor begore doing any work so I wouldnt destroy it. Been there done that.

Ok good, well if the computer is crying about losing signals then I would disco the battery and pull the computer connector, inspect the pins and clean with electrical contact cleaner.

im hoping to get some of this resolved within the next 2 weeks, after i get new tank straps... damn rust!
as others have said, timing, or in my experience, a lean engine will do the same thing...

Have you tried reading live data with your tool and check to make sure the PCM is reading values that are within spec? Things like MAP, TPS, CAM, RPM, sync, advance at idle (biggie), ECT, O2 loop operation, etc.
