Geoff,

Don't know about the swap or accesories, but you
should
be able to get most of the parts for the Magnum motors
from macini racing, www.manciniracing.com. They have
other parts not listed in the online catalog.

They seem to be the best place I've found online so
far
that deal specifically in Mopar stuff.

Other places to check are:
www.summitracing.com
www.jegs.com
But they also only have some of the parts listed
online.
