You need a 03 5.9 donor dakota for mounts, fuel lines, harness, computer, a 904, a new driveshaft (or two if 4x4), you will have to fab the trans mount and you will need a 318 magnum, if you are talking a 318 LA than you will be doing a ton of wiring and fighting with computer systems. If you have a grey ignition key your job gets even harder either way.

The grey key means it has a security system and you have to keep all the computers together with it. A Plain metal or black key is the one you want, then the engine computer for an 03 5.9 computer without security will run a 318 magnum.

I don't know of any, just what I have learned on my own. Most people end up putting a used 3.7-4.7 back in and selling it when the costs are added up. You can buy a nice 5.2 5.9 truck for less than the swap. If you decide to do it though I Have a ton of parts I could sell to help you out.
