     I'm not positive, but I'd be willing to bet the injectors in a 5.9L
     are bigger. You'd probably have to upgrade to a higher rated set.
     Does anyone know how many pounds the stock 5.2L injectors are rated
     at?
     
     That setup would probably be a real screamer. Putting that cam in a
     smaller displacement motor would make it seem a bit "lumpier". You'd
     probably want to look at some cleanup work to the intake. Extrude
     Hone would be COOL!!
     
     Hey Jim, if you do this and my OBDII gives me any crap by next year, I
     might be interested in that carb intake! ;)

Okay, so a stock Magnum engine with MP computer, TBI, and MP exhaust is a
250-270 hp setup. The 300 hp crate is a 5.9 liter carburetted engine with
the MP cam. What would I get if I dropped in the 300 hp crate, but pulled
the intake manifold and used my stock 5.2 l intake, dist., and the MP
computer from a 5.9l Ram (P5249546) ???
     
I think I could live with 290 hp. CARB might object, but I think I would
leave that pretty orange paint! $3500 + labor. Heck, it's gonna need an
overhaul next year!
     
Smiles,
