    Question 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 to 5.9 Engine Swap

    My son and I recently completed a 5.2 to 5.9 engine swap in our 1999 Dodge RAM 1500. We put a Comp Cams RV Cam in it and it has a K&N Cold Air and a Gibson Cat Back exhaust. We are looking for anyone that has done a similar project and has already spent the time doing a fairly solid HP Tuners tune for this truck (or similar).

    Thanks,

    Steve

    I'm ashamed to say, I went the other way and put a 318 where a 360 used to be. I had access to a few stock vehicles so all I did was combine the 318 fuel tables with the the timing table that came from a premium only 1998 5.9 grand cherokee. Pretty sure the truck 318 and 360 had the same timing curve. The factory tuned them pretty rich, but I'm pretty sure a stock 318 fuel map would be too lean for a 360.
