gasser rebuild 5.2?

I have a 5.2L durango 1998. 123K miles. How much would a rebuild be. Right now It leaks Anti-freeze and just needs a basic rebuild. My wife wasw looking at new cars but has made her mind up that she really loves her little truck as she calls it.


Or would I be better off finding a junk yard 5.9L gas rebuilding that and throwing that in? What would be involved in that.

drop a cummins in there

Interesting question. I am looking into rebuilding the 5.2 in my wife's Dakota not because it needs it, it just needs more power. Looking at prices right now.
Good luck!

I'm finding an over the counter motor from O'rliley's is a cheaper option:bang
