Shoot from the hip Sam! What do you need to know? Umm I also have the NV.
I had to get a fly wheel from a Ram 5.9 5 spd, also had to modify the oil pan
guts from the 5.2 due to the pan that the 5.9 had wouldnt set in the
compartment right. I used the Hipo computer from the 5.2 for a long time till
I could get a 5.9 comp. Worked fine. All the computer sensors on the 5.2
mated up to the 5.9 perfect so there was no electrical mods needed. I used
the 5.2 harness that was already in the truck.
Any more questions just fire away!
Eric
