5.2 Magnum/5.9 Magnum to 32RH

[BlueJayTJ]

I have scoured the internet trying to find any information on whether or not you can bolt the Jeep 32RH (Torqueflite 999) to a 1992+ Dodge Magnum 5.2 or 5.9 V8. Some people have said yes, but offer no proof or info. Some say no, but offer no proof or info. I am not asking if the 32RH can handle the HP/Torque of a V8, just simply if anyone can show me proof/pictures/videos/anything stating that they can be mated together. Any help is much appreciated.

No not as far as I know. They are a different bellhousing bolt pattern.
Example: To use the AX15 behind a 5.2/5.9 you have to use a Dodge Dakota V-6 bellhousing but it's removeable on the AX15.
You can use a 44RE which is the light duty auto in the ZJ & I think Durango & Dakota when it has a 5.2. Or the 46RE which is the medium duty auto & is behind the 5.9. The 46RE is used in all RAM trucks as far as I know but this isn't a 100% for sure thing. But I do know if it's a 5.9 then it has the 46RE.
I wouldn't think the 32RH could handle the power but it might if you could mate it up which to the best of my knowledge it can't be done.

Thank you for that. I know the 32RH can be built to handle more hp/torque, but was really hoping it would be able to bolt up to one of those because it would be a rather simple swap as far as the electronics and not having to move the transmission. I guess I will have to rebuild my 2012 Eagle 5.7 Hemi and go through with that nightmare of a swap.

I've had a 5.2 Magnum & then a stroked 5.9 making it a 6.7 in my TJ...

I just got done swapping a 5.7 Hemi into mine. It's a 05 block but have Eagle heads running the 05 intake.

Running the 545RFE? What transfer case did you use? I’ve seen several write-ups on the swap and although it would be my dream to do that. I was lucky acquiring this Eagle Hemi, but I’m afraid it’ll be more tedious than the non Eagle.

Talk him into the 8HP

I'll start you off here:

I'm running a STaK's 3 speed Monster box.

Currently yes I have a 545RFE but picked up a 8HP70 that I plan to swap in hopefully this fall/winter.

It's not a weekend project that is for sure. My Jeep is not stock so it's made things harder than it could have been. I bought a 97 TJ that this Hemi had already been swapped into but had a bad transmission. It already had a Hotwire wiring harness which was a big part of why I bought it.

Even doing a 5.2/5/9 Magnum isn't for the faint of heart. But you can blend the wiring harnesses yourself instead of paying someone to do it. It's only about 19 wires total.
