5.2L Magnum Engine & Trans Set Up
I have that trans setup out of a 95 Dakota behind my mild built 5.9, and since that year is the last year of the hydraulic controlled trans it doesn't need the computer to run it.
That trans (the A500OD/42RHOD) requires zero floor mods on most models of A bodies, but does require a modded trans mount and a 3.5- 4 inch driveline shortening.
It also has the lower first gear ratio that gets an A body off the line RIGHT NOW.:D
We have people looking for that trans on FABO now, so it shouldn't take long for someone to want it.
The 5.2 maybe not so much, but since it might be in good shape it could even make a really nice LA style conversion.
The 5.9 I got from a 90k Ram truck looked like it had maybe 10k on it with cross hatching very obvious all the way up and down the bores and uses ZERO oil between changes, so that 5.2 may very well be really nice inside.
I can almost see it now, naturally aspirated with with a nice cam, 600 cfm carb and overdrive WITH converter lockup in a early Valiant or Barracuda.
I get 25mpg on the hiway with mine at 80mph and 2,100 RPM's and can still smoke tires for a block with a hiway geared rear end.
