Don't know for certain sure, but think that the 5.2 and 5.9 have the same
basic block and heads. You'd probably need the 5.9 SBEC which would
hopefully match up with the 60 pin plug on the Dakota. It would seem that
the electronics would be the big problem, not the mechanical hookup.

Is it worth it, how much is a 10-15% power and torque increase worth to
you? If you put some goodies in the 5.9 then you'll get more power
obviously, but you can get about 50 more horses out of the 5.2 with the
Mopar performance pieces.
