So pretty much buying a 360 Magnum block, it will be bored/honed/hot tank cleaned and come with
-new cam bearings
-new freeze plugs
-stock pistons
-stock pistons
-timing cover
-harmonic balancer/lower pulley
My question is what else do I need to get it as a fully function engine and what would you recommend I do myself/have a machine shop do.
Also what would be able to swap over from cureent engine during swap that wouldnt set the whole project back(valve cover, intake,oil pan) etc..
My goal is to swap into my 2001 dodge ram 1500, already has a 5.9 in it so I figure the swap should be easy after the build.
Also as far as pricing goes, I'm looking for not the cheapest but not the most expensive. Right down the middle with performance and price.
I am new to this completely and it's more of a learning experience and me getting to say yea I built that engine.
Also what would be the price difference roughly vs buying a crate engine off power train or like wise site.
