you should have no problem, it's the same block but it has a different cam in it. not sure if there is anything else different but I know for sure the cam is not the same.

No they are not. they are the same crappy heads that the stock magnum motor has on it. If your thinking of the r/t heads, they are an aftermarket MP head which was never put into production on a magnum motor for our trucks & daks...
I was thinking that there might have been a difference in the intakes but now that i think about it more, I have an r/t intake on my motor now and it is no different than the stocker.

I see...I did not know that. [>:] He'd be better off just getting an aftermarket cam then, rather than switching motors. Then again....I dunno why he's asking about the motors. [&:]
I know the R/T vehicles (or at least the Durango) had a reprogrammed PCM...most likely just the Mopar Performance one that's available for purchase from any Dodge dealer.

yup, it's better to go to krc performance and look at their power packages and go from there. you can easily make more than the r/t motor with simple bolt ons.

Magnum RT Package consists of 5 items
Mopar cold air kit
Mopar M1 intake manifold
RT cam (low duration/not worth installing for cost)
Mopar performance computer
Mopar headers
They use to advertise 46hp/57lbft of torque for the package if I remember correct, have to look it up

if that manifold was ever in production on a truck, I could get away with using one here in CA... (not on my current truck... it's too heavy)
