Thanks for all of the replies.I was thinking that I would probably have to swap the intake.Some of the other stuff I wasn't sure about.Thanks for the info about the flex plate and balncer.I think I'm going to buy the engine and swap all of the parts.I would like to be able to just drop one in without exchanging all of the parts but i think it's worth it for the price and it's a nice low mileage engine

While you're swapping the manifold, do yourself a favor and install Hughes Engines' manifold plate kit. It solves once and for all the annoying habit Magnums have of blowing out the plenum plate gasket.

The kit also includes new manifold gaskets, bolts and other hardware so you won't need to source them elsewhere. Really, it has about all you'll need to swap everything over between the two long blocks, and fix the plenum issue to boot.
