5.2L Magnum Engine & Trans Set Up
I have the following engine / trans system that I was going to put in my 74 Dart Sport but decided to rebuild the original 360 instead. I would have to marry the magnum drive train harness into the 74 Dart and modify the floor boards and drive shaft. Just didn't want to put in all this work. Just wanted to get my Dart Sport back on the road. So now I'm trying to let someone else take advantage of using it.
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to sell it here, I just want to know if its a desirable set up. Seems nobody really wants it, Is it that bad of a drive train that nobody wants it? I know there some issues with heads cracking but is it really that bad?
Here's the details - Its a used 1995 vintage 318 Magnum Multi Port Fuel Injection engine. Complete with automatic OD transmission and torque converter, front engine mounting brackets, serpentine belt idlers, motor mounts, computer and wiring harness. Alternator, power steering pump, exhaust manifolds and exhaust O2 sensor. Also there is an AC compressor to run the serpentine belt but the compressor isn't any good.
Originally came from a 1995 Dakota pickup.
Its been out of the vehicle setting on the stand inside my shop for 3-4 years. The injectors would probably need cleaned and new injector oring seals installed. It will need a new oil pan and valve cover gaskets because I had them off checking things.
The Dakota pickup had approx. 90 thousands miles on the odometer when I took it out however the previous owner said he had the motor gone through about 1000 before. So engine has @ 1000 miles on it and the inside cleanliness seems to verify this.
The transmission, computer and wiring harness have been inside a storage building ever since it was removed. This is an OBD 1 computer system and wiring harness. I even have the dash and dash wiring harness.
Is it worth anything? Is it just junk? Should I just take it to the scraper?
