Hello everybody.

I have recently been having issues with my 1990 Ramcharger's auto tranny.  During a visit to the salvage yard, I found a 5.2L Magnum engine with a manual tranny attached.  

My question is:  Aside from the missijng injectors and possibly an adapter for my truck's stock transfer case (the new engine and manual trans came from a 4x4), what exactly will I need to make the engine/tranny combo work on my bone stock 1990 Ramcharger with the 5.2L and a utomatic trans?

You got to pull everything from the magnum. Like wires/computer sensors EVERYTHING. It will take time but take your time and make it work.
