3.9
My 14 year old son just picked up a mint 1992 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 3.9 V6, 4wd with a 5 speed manual transmission! The 3.9 just spun a rod bearing and has high mileage….looking for anyone who might of done a 318 or 360 swap in a similar truck! Looking to keep the 5 speed!

All is can say is plug'n'play works with these dodges. I have a Cummins sitting where a 318 came out. Donor truck makes things easier.

I would try searching/asking over at ramchargercentral for your specific swap.

my understanding is the 3.9, 5.2 and 5.9 transmissions will interchange. whether or not the 5 speed can handle the extra power/torque is another question. It may be able to as long as your son doesn't beat the trans.
