I just bought a 1999 ram 1500 with the 5.9 magnum to pull the engine and swap it to a 1997. I was just wondering if it was compatible and if anyone can give me some tips on parts I'll need to change that would be great.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Yes, VIN code Z designates that that motor is the same and therefore compatible. What tips would you like to know? Should be a straight forward swap. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
