Awesome Surprise Inside Of This Dirty Junkyard 360 Magnum

In this video I tear down a 1998 Dodge 5.9L Magnum (360) pulled from a Dodge Ram with 150,000 miles to see if it’s a good candidate to replace the original 273 in my 1967 Dodge Dart. This is a full junkyard engine teardown and inspection — removing the intake, heads, lifters, camshaft, crankshaft, pistons, and bearings to check cylinder wear, cross-hatching, sludge buildup, bearing condition, and overall bottom-end health. I had almost no history on this engine when I bought it, so this teardown shows what a high-mileage Magnum really looks like inside and whether a budget Mopar V8 is worth rebuilding. If you’re planning a Dodge 5.9 Magnum rebuild, a Mopar small-block swap, or you’re curious what 150k miles does to an engine, this video walks through the entire teardown process step by step.
