Getting Ready for the Magnum Swap. (help?)

And in your junkyard 5.7 comparison, you forget it requires about a $1000-$1500 wiring harness and computer to make it running, crazy expensive headers, aftermarket oil pan and mounts ect. Ect. and LOTS of those 5.7s have camshaft and lifter failure...a magnum 5.2 or 5.9 can be done in a weekend easily

DAMN!!!! Done and Installed in a weekend????

OK Don't mean to steal the thread away but one final question and then back to the regularly programmed schedule (thread) wink

So with that said I have come across a 2000 5.9 with 173K mi - locally and guy wants $500 - thoughts?

I would still have to buy motor mounts because I have a Slant 6 in mine
