Bigger question is how are you going to run it? It's a 95 (OBD1) no tuning available. ???

Yeah, that is most certainly going to be an issue. Likely going to need an aftermarket engine management system to run it. Or, go carb.....

The magnum 360 already have hypereutectic pistons, just have a dish -4cc (just a guess). The stock pistons will hold up, its more a matter of tuning. If you have stuff messed up, no matter how good of pistons you buy, they will become scrap.

I would dump that factory fuel injection and buy anybody's aftermarket fuel system (way easier to tune). The best set-ups have injectors in the intake runners. I was thinking about running LA heads, as there are more intake choices. The only trick will be getting your transmission to like new EFI fuel system. I was going to plug in the TPS, map sensors back in. You might still have a check engine light. I have 85 corvette with a LS2 engine, running fast stand alone EFI system. Super easy to tune/tweak

They say this at the top "Vehicles that are only supported by MPVI2 are identified below by a (2) after the vehicle model type." they have a "95 Dakota 5.2 (2)" listed. ???

Yeah, that seems really odd to me. Both vehicles are OBDI, which are NOT flash programmable....... Real curious how they get around that.

Emailed them and asked.
