    What lower radiator hose for 5.9 swap

    So I've got the 5.9 in my '68 Dart but my old lower radiator hose isn't going to work. I've kept the magnum serpentine setup and have a champion radiator which has the connection in basically the stock A-body location. Just wondering what other guys might have used. A part number or application...

    Power steering hose, what to use?

    so I'm keeping the serpentine setup on my 5.9 swap. So I need a hose to connect the magnum ps pump to the 68 dart steering box. My original dart hose actually has the correct ends on it but is too long and shaped wrong. Anyone have a p/n for a hose that might work, or did you have a custom...

    My 5.9 into '68 Dart swap

    Ok, so I figured I'd start my own 318 to 5.9 swap thread, just so anyone interested could follow along. Or if I run into problems I'll post them here and you guys can help me along. Engine is a '99 5.9 magnum out of a Ram 2500 Pickup. I'm going carbureted, so first business was to get rid of...

    Sorry dumb magnum question.

    Working with my first magnum engine. Bought a '99 5.9 from a ram truck. Starting to disassemble to do the manifold and pan swap. I'm keeping the whole serpentine belt system, and was going to use the magnum fan and clutch. Shouldn't I be able to grab the fan and turn it by hand? Right now if I...

    Question about Edelbrock 7577 magnum airgap manifold

    When looking at these manifolds online, Summit, Jegs, etc. Some pics show the manifold has two extrusions sticking up off the front runners, with threaded holes in them. Other pics show a manifold without these same risers, or extrusions. For example look at it on Summitracing, they show two...

    Can you use a mechanical fuel pump with Magnum front cover?

    Still considering a magnum swap and want to keep things as simple as possible. Probably going carbureted. Bot I would like to run the Magnum front cover and serpentine setup.

    How do I tell a 5.2 from a 5.9

    Made a trip to the Pick and Pull yard today, looking for a part for my wife's Nissan Sentra, While I was there I started checking Durango's, Dakota's, and Grand Cherokee's to see if they had any 5.9 magnums. Thinking of doing the magnum swap in my Dart. I found several magnums, but I quickly...

    any advantage to a 5.2 over a 5.9 ?

    Just wondered if there is any reason to do a 5.2 rather than a 5.9 Obviously the 5.9 will have more power, but will the 5.2 get better mileage. Will a 5.2 be a major improvement over my old 318 ? Old engine is low compression due to 360 heads. Seems to be more 5.2's available around...
