Okay so I own a 1997 ram 1500 5.2. my mechanic gave my the truck back with little oil creating a knock. My buddy told me you can swap the heads and a cam and get 400 hp out the 5.2 magnum. So my question is. Can I run a stock computer and intake and fuel system with a certain head and can setup. What do I need to be able to support a head and cam swap. From roller rockers, ecu flashing, I want to know start to finish what I need to successfully build a daily drivable 400 ish hp truck. I’d say I’m willing to spend about 3-5k on this project just for the engine. In more research I’ve read I’ll need to upgrade the 1500 5 speed into a nv4500 to handle the power ect. But that’s whole other situation. Right now I just really want almost like a proper build sheet to start with so I know what to buy and what I need to make this a solid motor. Thanks I’m advance
