5.9l magnum swap questions

If it's not then it's not...what am I gonna do about it? He's already said a few other things he'll have to do are included in the price. Hell for all I know the new Pistons are dished to offset the weight and compression bump.

Really though, I might be able to get this long block together for less than $1500. I reserve the right to be optimistic.

While it may or may not help, allow me to shamelessly plug ;) my 5.9 swap thread (in a B-body, mind you), and all the details associated with it (including some comments about budget, seeing as I tried to pull it off as dirt cheap as possible). It's slightly different due to the roller cam LA bottom end, but in principle it's almost identical.

You'll have to get to page #2 or #3 before the build starts:
