5.2 motor mount ears vs. 5.9

That makes sense, with it being an early (first year? second?) block. The one I'm getting is an '01, so hopefully it'll have the same spacing as the 5.9. I saw a 318 in a wrecking yard that was a hybrid, '91 or so, basically an LA motor with a magnum front end. I guess it had a 1 year only water pump on it? Strange.

Yeah, second year of the 5.2 magnum.

My latest magnum swap was in a '91 TBI 318 Dakota. '92 harness and A-518 trans with a '98 magnum 5.2. They do have a serpentine belt setup on those '91 TBI motors, but not quite a magnum setup, as they have a smog pump on them. They also have(and use) the magnum truck style motor mount pad on the side of the block.
