Super bee I believe did a swap in a gen 1 Dak...did it himself and from what he said in the members only area, he's far from a mechanic. And judging by what I was told, if you can turn a ratchet, you can do a V8 swap.

im not a mechanic no, im mechanicaly inclined yes

with wrenches, basic tools and info from here, from alldatadiy i got it all to work
but i took like everything from the 95 to make it simple
dashboard, wiring, gas tank
the only thing left is axles and master cyl for brakes

took me a few months to change everything

1997 magnum v6 wanting to upgrade to a 5.9 360 out of a 2003 durango. But any 5.2 or 5.9 magnum would be okay with me...what would be easiest? does it make a difference?
