Ive posted before about an engine swap. Got an online video of all the pics, if your interested watch the video.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=u7ePmbFbq9A

wrecked truck from junkyard $550 (came with topper/cap/shell both side view mirrors which run $15, drop in bed liner, newer bench seat with head rest! woot!, both brake light housing/with all the lamp connections, spare tire, and also taking the rear axel) this was suppose to be just a drop an engine in, but we found out the hard way, which was for the better!
the crankshaft was pretty much shot, im just happy people at autozone are tards sometimes that they didnt take notice, we only went this far because of the oil pump, plus putting a new timming chain on it.
new crankshaft $400 with,
new rod and main bearings
timing chain and gears with tensoner $100
complete intake and exhaust gasket set $42 bucks (which includes valve stems and head gaskets which all got changed.)
new high volume oil pump with oil pan gasket $60
vavle cover gaskets $18
new oil sending unit $15
experience of removing, yanking and tearing apart the engine $ "PRICELESS", lol except i have to pay the mechanic that helped me :D

so you put the heads and intake off of the old 3.9 on the engine on the magnum? i am not sure but i think the thing giving it the 175 horsepower was the manum heads, intake, and MPI. I am not sure, just wanted to throw it out there, someone correct me if i am wrong. looks good though!
