well I know you'll need a new TB cable and TB. You wouldn't want a v6 tb on
that thing. I would look at a modified one or even a billet Throttle body.

Hey,
    I received the rest of the parts for my 318 today so hopefully I can
finish assembling it tonight! WooHoo!
How do you think this will compare to a stock 5.9L?

I'm considering buying a performance intake and pcm when I get the money but can't do it yet. I NEED to buy a wiring harness for the motor but haven't found one yet. Will the 3.9L's flexplate and starter work or do I need to replace them? The throtle cable on my truck now (for the 3.9L) has a different connection than what is needed for the 5.2l tb. Can I just replace the cable or do I have to get a different throtle body?

I'm selling my jba silver ceramic headers for the 95 v6 dak if anybody is interested in them because I won't need them for very long.
