magnum or la that is the question

Ok guys and gals, this is my first thread so please be patient with me.
The patient:
1972 Plymouth Duster
318 la
stock engine. edlebrock performer intake. holley 600 vs. and headers are the upgrades

Option 2:
I own a 99 ram with 5.9 magnum and blown transmission. This could be donated to the Duster. Completely stock to begin with, but it will get upgrades eventually.


So that's my thoughts, now what's yours? Which way would you go?

:cheers: and rebuild the ram trans with a shift kit
