I own a 1998 dodge 1500 with the 5.9L 360 gas motor. just looking for ideas for internals to get more out of my motor. i plan on getting headers a chip and a new TB but looking for ideas for internals.

 

Skip the chip, unless you are referring to a real tuner. Chips do nothing.

Harland sharp 1.7 roller rockers, long tube headers, and a free flowing exhaust. Make sure you fix all of its issues first though. (plenum..... tune up, etc.)

 

Are those stacks on a gasser?

 

First do a search and read. Next spend a few dollars and do some more reading.

Here are 3 books to get you started. They have a lot of good info in them.

Also follow the link in my sig on rebuilding my engine for ideas.

 

yes its stacks on a gasser

 

Biggest bang for the bucks are to stroke the 5.9 motor to 408 cubic inches with a stroker kit, in addition to adding better flowing cylinder heads and intake. Stroker kit typically consists of a stroker crank, new rods, pistons rings, along with main and rod bearings.

 

100% agree with wildman.

 

Add this to the reading list:


Reportedly Written by one of the dodge engineers who worked on the magnum engine design

 

One of the best Magnum v8 books if you are just doing a stock rebuild.

 

+1... Larry Shepard writes a good easy to follow book.
And yes, he lived LA and Magnum engines since 1966... was part of the corporate drag racing program for 14yrs, then went to Mopar Performance for 21yrs.
