2001 5.9 Magnum questions
Really great advice above so I won't repeat it. You'll be very happy with a 5.9.

@TrailBeast I kept the v-belt front end for the old school look. I went with Edelbrock 2.02 heads, Air Gap intake and 650 AVS carb. Also sent my cam to Oregon Cam Grinders for a regrind.
5.9's are externally balanced sp you'll need the correct flexplate (I used the donor flexplate) and sourced an aftermarket harmonic balancer for a 5.9.
Here's a FABO "How-to" with great information.
