Okay, im thinking of getting a durango, and i want a black one, only problem is, i havent been able to find a black r/t or srt+ with the 5.9 in it, all im finding are srts and srt+ with 5.2L, i could get a r/t and get it repainted, but it isnt worth it to me, so i was thinking of just getting a high mileage 5.2L durango and then just swapping in a new engine in there, like a 5.7 hemi or something, but im having trouble finding websites that sell dodge/chrysler engines that i could swap in, can anyone give me some help? thanks

i dont want to buy a car off ebay, i want one in the area that i could drive to and look at without having to just assume its in good shape

yeah, ive been looking for a while and im kind of stuck, all the engines ive been finding have been carbureted, and i want fuel injection, so im pretty much stuck with just swapping in a stock 5.9 engine if i want to go bigger, or spending another 1500 for FI. So im not really sure what im gonna do now, guess i might just wait for a black 5.9

hey, i was just wondering, i was planning on emailing KRC Performance tomorrow about this but they sell long and short blocks on their website, and i was thinking of all the stuff it doesnt come with (tb, headers, fi, h20 pump, pulleys, motor mounts, etc). and if i could use those parts from my 5.2L until they were upgraded.
im guessing its the same block, just bored out more(im new to mopar, ive been a chevy guy all my life)
