Set of stage 2 heads and a stage 2 cam along with a good stock shortblock should make for a strong runner in a 91 Dakota.

Thanks everyone. jbc426 I will be running a carb so I dont have to worry about the OBD1 stuff. I may pick up another motor found one local for $100 that is complete. I will be buying a set of heads and a cam from magnummopar over the winter. I just want to make sure I have a good shortblock and...

I was hoping to get by without having to mess with the bottom end except for a new oil pump. I have never replaced rings or bearings etc.. But if need be I should be able to figure out how to pull a piston.

Here are a few pics of the stock motor.

I picked up a 91 Dodge Dakota over the weekend. I know its not a a body but its a Mopar! It has the factory 318-5.2 it was the last year for the la 318. It has a factory tbi set up. My questions are will a 5.2 magnum or 5.9 magnum bolt in there with the mounts that I currently have on the stock...
