I have a 99 Dodge Durango SLT 5.9L V8 Magnum 4WD, Auto trans with 184477 miles. Here is my question..... How can I go the type of engine I have to one that is like a 76 Dodge <<<<

I'm having trouble understanding your question.
Are you asking if it's possible to put a 70's era engine into your 99 Durango?
Probably not.
EFI stands for electronic fuel injection. The preceding technology would be a carburetor.
So it would be EFI vs Carburetor.
Natural Aspiration is about air. The alternative to Natural Aspiration is forced induction, either with a turbo charger or super charger.
If you wanted to get it more like a 76 Dodge, you would need to de-convert the EFI to a carburetor. I’m not so sure that is a simple feat, and probably not cost effective nor efficient, with little gain or even a loss of performance.
Why would you want to go back to a carburetor?!

Engine mounts may not fit, for one, then comes the transmission mounts. Then, you actually need to hook up the transmission to the engine. Realistically, no. Also, engine mounts were hit or miss in those days as to compatibility. Either metric or English units, nowadays, and even in 1999, most cars were starting to switch to metric. I have a '79 Catalina and the sockets are both in English units and metric units, which is a pain in the rear.
