5.9 Magnum exhaust/intake combo help
I had also asked on one of the FxBO forums if magnum heads were identical between 5.2 and 5.9, and was told they were.
So, are there three magnum cams and two head versions?
Still waiting on confirmation that there is an 1.88 valve Magnum head. I've never seen one, but I don't have them laying around either.
Far as I understand, there is only one OE assembly line head for the 5.2 and 5.9. In 1992, the 318 became the 5.2 Magnum, but the 360 remained in it's TBI state and did have a different head and 1.88 valves. In 1993, the 5.9 rolled out as a Magnum, with the same heads as the 5.2 and 1.92 valves. I would accept proof otherwise, just haven't seen it yet.
There are a multiple of Magnum cams, depending on year and engine size. My comment was only that the Dakota R/T didn't get a different cam than a similar year Ram (or whatever) with a 5.9.
Mopar Performance sold an R/T cam, but it never came in a truck on the showroom floor. Same deal with the R/T heads, they exist, but they are completely aftermarket from MP and were not stock on the Dakota R/T.
The 5.9 in the Dakota R/T was no different than any other 5.9 of the same year, other than it was in a Dakota.
