One more thing to consider, check and see if any water got into the oil.
Most definitely crispy...The intake will be fine, but the injectors will need replaced (crispy parts).
Helps alotTaking this apart is gonna be a mixed bag of fasteners, some are going to be inch, some are going to be metric, been awhile since I've been inside a Magnum to remember what's inch and what's not.
Most common inch based sizes needed are gonna be: 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, you may wish to go on up to 1 inch, your choice; you'll want these in sockets and wrenches, drive sizes of 3/8 and 1/2 inch.
Hope this helps
Crank nut is 1-1/4" socket size.Helps alot
That socket won’t se much other use...;)Crank nut is 1-1/4" socket size.
Oil was good a month ago when they pulled it and put it in the warehouse.One more thing to consider, check and see if any water got into the oil.
Would there be any noticeable gains from going E85 and higher compression on these engines or is it more like the “normal” 3-4% gain on unboosted smaller DOHC 16v engines?Get it. Everything that matters is inside and made of steel. I don't think it got hot enough to affect the heads or block. The distributor cap isn't melted.
As for 500lb-ft, any decent 4" stroke crank with heads that will flow 250-ish cfm, 9.5-10:1 compression, and a decent cam should get you there. The stock heads probably could be ported to do it or any of the aftermarket aluminum ones would. The stroker should rev just fine to 6500 depending on heads and cam, and at that power level shouldn't need any trick oiling mods IMO.

I have one of those 5.9's. The 5.9 Magnum (360) was only available in 1998 in the Grand Cherokee. The only year. It's a factory roller cam motor, so it's not worth a premium, but If someone was restoring a '98 Grand Cherokee, they might pay extra for it, but I doubt it. I had mine sonic checked for a .030 overbore, and the block is plenty thick. My stock heads appear to be not cracked between the valve seats, but replacement heads are going to be cheaper than having used, cracked heads sent from the USA. JMO.it is a grand cherokee -98 with a 5.9litre so it should be a Magnum 360
