This is a pretty out there question. I had some one offer me a engine out of a "dodge ram van" with significantly low miles. Would this Ben be possible to drop in my truck?

Going back to what all of you are talking about. 5.2vs5.9 should I stay 5.9 or will a 5.2 do just the same- make my truck move lol

Yes a 5.2 will make it run. The 5.9 computer might make a 5.2 run a little rich but that is the only drawback I can see besides a little less power.

Also if you do go with a 5.2 you will need the flex plate from a 5.2 as well.
