There is quite a bit available for the V6. Remember, the 5.2L parts
(rods, pistons) fit the V6 and actually help beef up the crank/rod area
as well (larger bearing surface on the V8's - V6's have a stepped
journal).
Intake manifold isn't hard to build as there is already one other person
in the process of building a cast version of the M1 for the V6 (not
going to be named "M1" though for legal reasons).
Cam and Head combos are a little harder to find, but there are several
aftermarket grinds available for the Magnum V6. Obviously, no "R/T"
style heads but the factory ones can be modified rather easily and work
very well.
TB, Intake, Headers, Exhaust, Ignition, and all tune-up parts are
readily available as well.
