Im looking to buy a 5.9 to mod and eventually put in my dakota, my buddy has one out of a 95 ram 2wd, hes asking $500 for it, runs smooth and every thing, i think its a great price, just what will i need off the truck, and will the 5speed auto thats in my truck hook to this motor???

If you really wanted to you could make the trans you have work with a custom bellhousing and probably converter/flexplate combo. It would be easier to use a 46re (if you use a magnum computer) or 46rh (if you flash your pcm for a manual) and use a standalone to run the motor.

grab the motor, trans and ECM....and since your a 4.7, might wanna grab the harness to if it will work. if not, gran one outta a 5.2 Dak or a wrecked R/T.
