I have discovered some more info, it appears I can remove the current V6 timing ring from the 3.9 flywheel, and use an automatic trans flex plate sandwiched between the flywheel and the crankshaft flange to trigger the timing sensor. Then I can use all the 3.9 stuff on the 5.2 motor and keep the factory ignition. The GV2500 trans might be a bit light duty for the V8, but I have an extra 3.9 flywheel, clutch, & trans I can afford to screw up, as a test subject. Both the 5.2 and the 3.9 flywheels are neutral balanced, but if the 5.2 I have doesn't work out, a 5.9 magnum V8 needs a different different balanced, larger diameter flywheel. Then I may be screwed.
At this point, everything here is in a holding pattern. We have to put a new roof on our house, and until I see those numbers, most unnecessary spending has stopped. That process has been painstakingly slow, but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter.
It now looks like this (hopefully) may be a spring project. As things move forward, I'll keep everyone posted.
