Easy stuff.

Find a used, low-mile 5.9 Magnum from a truck, maybe even from an 'R/T' if you're lucky, it should be bolted to the OD trans already. How easy is that?




Trouble is, magnum 5.9's are 1992+ but the 1996+ transmission is not usable because it's electronically controlled. He may have to do a bit of mixing and matching across a few year span to get the right year transmission with a decent shape 5.9 magnum.



This is what I am hearing. The 518 sounds like the best candidate but I am concerned about the tunnel clearance.
