This engine is hard to kill. I beat mine to 1,227,000 miles and sold it for 800 bucks barely running. I finally moved on to cummins. I miss the magnums, but the cummins has been insane. By beat I mean I red lined it every red light in its entire life.
@@Pointlesshandle48 As long as you keep up with the maintenance these engines are good. Everyone one that's had an issue usually dont change the oil or keep up with the maintenance. The trans, if it starts to slip learn to column shift. it will last indefinitely if you column shift it. The auto part of the trans is garbage. if you get the low oil light at the traffic lights touch the throttle a little. Don't let the oil light stay on. Mine did that for the last 400k miles. I know why it did it, it was tired.
Great video content once again! Old school vibe in a good way with top of the line information! Reminds me of the true builds that used to come on when I was a kid. Yall are doing great 👍. 🇺🇸
Another option is to have your stock core reground and using a 200,000+ mile lifters is fine if they are still in nice shape and you can take them apart and clean them. having your cam reground from Oregon cam is only $160 so that is another option for a cam and that is my go to for Smallblock roller cams I keep La and Mag roller cores for these reasons.
Can't wait to cam my 02 Dakota R/T. Also going with intake an bigger TB. Just had my trans beefed with bigger stall an shoft kit. Can't wait to see how she runs! Keep up the good work!
5.2 has sooo much potential..... open up the intake and exhaust chambers, nothing radical, biggest gain is just deshrouding valves..... stage 1 cam, and open up that kegger a little.... wakes em right up
Good luck finding a performance roller cam right now. I just finished a 5.9 magnum build and had to retrofit to a flat tappet just to find parts. Jeg's, Autoplicity, Summit, Comp, Lunati.......the list goes on. NOBODY had one. Love the video though, bad ass truck!!
Part Numbers: Cam: Hughes SER1418ALN-10 Lifters (x16): Sealed Power HT-2269 Timing Chain: Hughes 6442 Head Gaskets (x2): Cometic C5554-027 Gaskets: Not shown, can use Fel-Pro 260-1723 if upgraded head gaskets not needed Pushrods (x16): Not shown, can use Melling MPR-462 Valve Springs(x16): Mopar 312-P4876062 Plenum gasket: Weld, use Hughes kit, or use included gasket in felpro kit Also in video was heads, thermostat, valve covers, tune. I think it was forgotten, but for the cam listed you're supposed to use new Hughes retainers/locks/cam bolt. It's all listed on their site. If you want just a cam swap: Hughes Cam, Cam Bolt, Cam Key, Spring/Lock/Retainer Set, & 16 Lifters the current price is $960, not including any of the other parts listed like gaskets, pushrods, heads, tune, etc
Also if your block is trashed like mine probably is with 280k miles(I'll be doing this swap in a month) you can get a stroker block from ATK for $3000, which includes a $2000 crank set, so you're only paying $1000 for a "new" block and all the machine work. Pretty good deal IMO
Great video guys, its awesome how you both are not only letting people know the cost of the parts but what parts to properly install on there trucks if they want to go that route.

Nice parts/price layout 🤘. I just bought a 98 rcsb v6 5 speed with a dead cylinder for $1200 and drove it home lol (and to work a few times) im going to junk yard 5.2 swap it in the next month or 2 and while the engine is on a stand, i plan to do gaskets, timing chain, hughes plenum fix, etc so itll be reliable. I just might throw one of those hughes cam/springs/pushrod combos in there while im at it..🤔. The v6 is pretty much dead and smokes like a freight train lol but, the truck was so clean and isca manual so i just couldnt pass up a good deal. They are so easy to Magnum swap, there is no way id put another 3.9 in it 🤮
I wanna see you guys put a .600 lift hyd roller cam in a 5.9. I have a custom Howard hyd roller in my 5.9 and it’s massive. I do believe I have the hardest thumping 5.9 out there but I could be wrong.
I have a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 I just wish I can find a good mechanic shop that's honest when it comes to fixing my truck. You guys was honest I wish you two was out here in Atlanta Georgia to modify my car for $3,000 that would be a blessing
@@RacingRamFam Thanks. I really should do it Myself i know how to put the parts on I'm just being a bit lazy of myself. I'm the only one knows best about the Truck anyways Thanks again 💜
For 3k you can make it quick yourself.Im in Abbeville SC and have been a ASE certified tech for 30+ years.I can get you 300hp at the crank without a cam change. First you gotta let these things breathe.The keg manifold can be easily modified and will really wake it up above 3000., with little loss of bottom end power. Just this mod is a definite seat of the pants improvement..Next I fashioned a cold air induction retaining the factory box with a K&N panel filter. I relocated the IAT to the airbox. This tricks the PCM into running a little richer. The thermostat is changed to 180°. The coilis an Accel unit relocated to the firewall to run cooler and shorten the coil wire.I use Accel brass cap and rotor..An MSD 6A fires E3 sparkplugs thru Accel 8mm wires. Stainless steel shorty headers and true 2.5 duals eliminating the y pipe into a dual inlet/outlet Flowmaster 40 series..The muffler configuration is needed because pipes must be run down passenger side and split over the axles. The rear is stock with 3:55 LSD..An electric fan from a 95 V6 Mustang keeps it cool in southern summers.The fan was probably the second best mod for power. Other small mods are polishing the throttle body and trimming the bracket that hangs over the bores. This has resulted in a 5.2 Dakota that embarrasses 5.9 RTs.. I imagine I have the quickest 318 in the county 😁. I plan to replace the heads as they are crackers and tho they don't leak, I'm sure with my hard running, they probably are crackers. Thinner 1028 Mr Gasket .028 head gaskets are going in along with a small Hughes cam. These things have huge potential. They come with 1.92 intake valves and 1.6 exhaust. So the breathing potential is there. Also the rod / stroke ratio is perfect on these motors and they have long forged rods that reduce cylinder bore loading for good long wear.
As a dealership tech for nearly 20 years (9 of them with Mopar) I'm in your shoes. I have so much crap. And even then, I never pay retail for anything. Lol. I want to see details on the SCT tuning. But make the SRT-10 video, a lot of people will like it.

Hello again from Russia! 👋👋👋😉Tell me where I can read all these upgrades of Magnum 5.2-5.9 in text format? And have you already decided to integrate the engine oil electrical pumping scheme before starting ? :-)))
@@RacingRamFam My idea for pumping engine oil is very good, and most importantly it works!!! - my Magnum 318 loved it:-) Think about how modern Japanese cars with automatic transmission work! After all, now all these cars are on the "start-stop" system (Sorry, I don't know how it sounds in English LOL). But the point is when the ECU of a modern Japanese car "understands" that the car is in traffic and you need to stop the engine. :-))) How will the hydraulic automatic transmission system work after that to move the car?)))) For this reason, the Japanese came up with 12V. oil pumps for automatic transmission:-)))))) My thought is, what do you say?
@@RacingRamFam Sorry, friend, I need time to translate your answer into Russian:-))) (the built-in translator on TH-cam has not yet been connected:-))) No, I did not assemble such a scheme in order for the engine to stop automatically when there is insufficient oil pressure. But this is a simple scheme: friend, you need to look into the electrical circuit of the ignition switch and connect the 12V relay. control the opening of the +12V control. At the same time, the logic will be interesting, if you have an electric oil pump from a Japanese automatic transmission that does not create pressure in the engine lubrication system, then you will not be able to start the engine at all! As you saw in my video, the original oil pressure indicator is installed and it allows you to understand what pressure is in the system, and you can always stop the engine as usual in manual mode;-)
I have 2 Jeep zj one with the 5.9 and one with the 5.2 Magnum. and I always wondered if it’s worth building the moters for power or just swapping in a 5.7 hemi
This is post an old one..But, what's it cost for a CAM Swap that's not going to be a Thumpy CAM..??.. something that's a tad bit better than a 360 OEM Style Standard..??..
hello how are you, I bought the spring valves mopar performance p4876062, but a cant find the retainers for this, do you know where can i to buy this? thanks
@@DoorKicker you can run stock pushrods but there usually the incorrect length with a custom ground camshaft. You also will make less power with stock pushrods due to them bowing and flexing not allowing you to use all the lift and duration from your new big camshaft. So personally the only place stock pushrods belong are in the garbage
Great Content. Were the cam bearings good on those motors? I have pulled three magnum cams and all three had cam bearing problems on 3 or 4. In the process now of doing a 408 with a Kenne Bell supercharger. I have a few cam choices laying around but wasn't sure which would be the best with boost.
Mine look great with 200,000 miles! Any cane is a boost cam! Usually supercharger cams they try to make a lot of low end torque to spin the supercharger easier
Great video guys. I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 automatic that has over 200,000 miles and it is my only truck, a work truck. A friend has an old dual plenum intake that he says would help with the pulling power (I pull a 6000 pound work trailer) but not sure if that alone would help or if I would need more added to it. The truck struggles to pull the trailer up overpasses but it is my only truck and I don't need it to be super fast, just pull the trailer better so I guess some more horsepower. What do you guys recommend? Thank you.
Hey do you guys run a stock bottom end? I just picked up a 2000 Dakota RT and I have a D1 procharger head unit I was gonna put on the 5.9 just wanted to know what you guys do to prep them for boost. Not looking to spend a crazy amount on this.
@@RacingRamFam ive got plenty of experience with flat tappets and spring weight. CHEAP flat tappets and no zddp is why they dont last. besides, i could cam swap twice with a flat for what it costs to do a roller. plus, flat tappet stuff is lighter.
What cam do I get if I want to hear it chop but not be expensive and is there’s a kit I could get that does not need a tune? By the way I have a 1st gen Dakota with a 5.2l v8
I would do a tuner before a cam. Stock tune is the softest thing ever lol watch my video how to tune a twin turbo beast on the channel. You will see how trash the factory tune is for power

Mine look great with 200,000 miles! Any cane is a boost cam! Usually supercharger cams they try to make a lot of low end torque to spin the supercharger easier
My cam bearings were toast when I went to do a cam swap, Motor had 130k on it. Budget went out the window at that point.
I have that exact same cam and it doesnt sound ANYTHING like that....then again, mine isnt running twin turbos...
Ya this is it running with no tune and low rpms
Can you put a link to the heads studs ?
You forgot about torque converter...
You don’t need a converter
Great video guys. I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 automatic that has over 200,000 miles and it is my only truck, a work truck. A friend has an old dual plenum intake that he says would help with the pulling power (I pull a 6000 pound work trailer) but not sure if that alone would help or if I would need more added to it. The truck struggles to pull the trailer up overpasses but it is my only truck and I don't need it to be super fast, just pull the trailer better so I guess some more horsepower. What do you guys recommend? Thank you.
Dual plane won’t give you as much torque as the stock kegger. And go with a tune it really wakes these trucks up
What tune do you recommend??
Cool
It’s a pain to put in too hahaha
Lol not to bad!
@@RacingRamFam yeah most people can’t do it right I’ve seen some bad jobs 😂😂
Lol 😂
When is the srt10 cost comin?????
Soon if you want to see it 👀👀
can you share Baby hauler hp gain chart
It hasn’t been on the dyno yet
Would you like a update video tho?
Yo guys imma need more information I’m just now starting to build my Dakota again
There videos on everything check the channel out
been looking for a cam for my 5.2 for over a year now
Ya hard to choose one!
You just made me re-thiink swapping my cam haha. Think stock cam will be enough for an e30 bmw?
For what? What are you trying to do? Stock cam 90% of the time suck
@@RacingRamFam just have a nice street car
Hey do you guys run a stock bottom end? I just picked up a 2000 Dakota RT and I have a D1 procharger head unit I was gonna put on the 5.9 just wanted to know what you guys do to prep them for boost. Not looking to spend a crazy amount on this.
Stock!
@@RacingRamFam cool thx stock bottom end it is.
How much it cost for me to you guys tunea my 5.9 Dakota rt magnum
I have never tuned anyone’s stuff except my own
think im gonna flat tappet swap my 5.2. roller cam stuff is waaaayyyy to expensive for me.
Flat tappets don’t last. And if you don’t get spring tension just right it will eat the cam alive or be too soft.
@@RacingRamFam ive got plenty of experience with flat tappets and spring weight. CHEAP flat tappets and no zddp is why they dont last. besides, i could cam swap twice with a flat for what it costs to do a roller. plus, flat tappet stuff is lighter.
I just watched a video that says that an la cam will interchange with a magnum.
How much would u guys think a na 5.9 ram can make ?
Great information! Does all of this apply to the 318's used in the Jeep ZJs?
I’m 90% sure yes on that but never know of possible year and cam spec troubles but again should work
Is it possible or even worth doing just a cam swap with out having to do turbos ?
Yes yes and yes 100+ horsepower right there stock cams in these engines are pewnie
What cam do I get if I want to hear it chop but not be expensive and is there’s a kit I could get that does not need a tune? By the way I have a 1st gen Dakota with a 5.2l v8
If you get a cam with any chip your going to need a tune cause it won’t idle with factory tune
@@RacingRamFam oh ok what cam do you prefer that would make it chop without breaking the bank and a tune?
Would I have to tune my ram if I cam it or will it self learn
Matters the size cam. But factory tunes trash would go with a tune over cam swap to start with
I just got a 99 1500 5.2 L magnum and I don't know if I should do a turbo or a supercharger
Want free power or driven power?
@@RacingRamFam what's the difference?
@@LIL1DOPES belt driven vs exhaust driven
What would be the biggest camshaft I can use with a stock tune? Or am I going to actually spend money for a tuner sooner than I planned. Lol
I would do a tuner before a cam. Stock tune is the softest thing ever lol watch my video how to tune a twin turbo beast on the channel. You will see how trash the factory tune is for power
I got a superchips tunner for $75 but it's limited on what I can do. I want a sct eventually. Just kinda my poor boy project truck / daily driver so I'm trying to keep it semi dependable while getting around 400 hp (or more) eventually.
Ya sct works a lot better
Did y’all use the stock rocker arms?
Oh yes
Where did you get the camshaft
Never mind found it
So are there different genrations of the 5.2 magnum im interested in a 89 dodge pick up and it got a 5.2 in it
Yes that’s a la 5.2 different thank the magnum 5.2
@@RacingRamFam thank u for responding :)
Wanna cam and that’s about it she up around 160k
For the cam did you have to get a torque converter stall ?
Didn’t have too but was a pooch off the line
Would you recommend it tho? I order a cam from hughe it’s a 208/214 -114
@@alexisharo8865 ya that’s pretty small but good street cam
@@RacingRamFam I shouldn’t need a mild stall than right ? Cause it’s a small cam right ?
I’m just trying get that cam sound and do some bolt ons so that’s why I’m curious
Do these parts fit a 2002 5.9 dodge ram
Yes sir!
What is a good cam for a 92 318
Matters what your looking for
does the 5.7 just not exist to you guys?
Huh we have a few 5.7 videos it will be back in a month for reassembly
So who bribed thier sister on the merch clip? LoL
How much was the cam shaft
$300
What do you guys think of doing this But with Holy sniper
Do it! Another guy on Instagram has a turbo 5.9 with the sniper
@@RacingRamFam I’m working on it slowly I got the 5.2 Magnum edelbrock intake that fits a carburetor just going to put holly sniper on it cam it push rods and Springs just taking a long time to find out all I need
@@RacingRamFam gotta 99 dodge 5.2 4x4 Automatic just had the automatic rebuildet with high performance stuff get a receipts for all the stuff from the guy wanna turbo it gotta 5.7 dodge to 2003
Nice!
or or hear me out dont touch anything leave it stock and only add 10 lbs of boost
30lbs take it or leave it lol
@@RacingRamFam id love to put 30 lbs of boost in my 2004 5.7 magnum but it would probably explode... you guys got your shit together very nice work you guys do.
So your springs bind at .600? Thats a big cam lol
Also. Its only costed me a total of 1100$ to cam swap my 5.2 magnum with all felpro gaskets. 208/214 cam and spring upgrade kit. Head studs. High volume oil pump. I guess i got a little luckier than yall would have if yall wouldve had to buy it all lol
He put multi layered steel head gaskets and arp head stead’s to handle boost so of course it’s gonna cost him more than you
Ya you could do it cheaper but we used some high grade parts on this build!
the valve springs coil bind at .600 lift. that cam is nowhere near .600 lift.
Frigglebiscuit .061” away...
That isn’t too expensive if you think about and people still say ls is cheaper to turbo 😒
You could do it cheaper than we did but ya magnums are cheap to turbo and make a bunch of power
I’m just ready to see how the bottom hold tbh
Magnums are torque monsters stock 318 has 330lb-ft of torque (1997)
Ya me too I think we will split the block tho 🌶
@@RacingRamFam Only way you gonna "split" the block is with butted ring or bad tune.
That bad boy gonna take ALL the boost!
Just no windows please. hahahaha
Did you use the stock rocker arms?
Oh yes
Do you think the stock rockers and pushrods would be ok to use with a .552/.549 lift cam?
@@kyleschwalm4870 yes nothing wrong with stock rockers
@@RacingRamFam sweet. That just saved me 700 bucks. Thank you sir
Does anyone have the link to the cam i cant find it
Should be in the description
@@RacingRamFam idk man its not there for me ill try to find it again in a bit thank you though
Alright let me know if it’s not I’ll add it
@@RacingRamFam its not there for me still if u could put it in their it would be greatly appreciated
Still not bad at 3000
So can I put a 318 crank in a 360 bottom end and run it as a 318 to put it on my nv3500
Lol you would need the 360 pistons and you can run a nv3500 behind a 360
Keep in mind the 318 is externally balanced and the 360 is internally balanced but I believe it can be done.
For all this you could have just Ls swap it 😂😂 jp
Prob would have been 10x the work and double the money
And far less reliable haha
