It's kinda dark, but it looks kinda like a gear. It will be towards the rear of the engine.

Here's a better picture. The 02 more than likely has it, but if it does not it will have to be swapped

The red circle is showing the tone ring, the red arrow is just showing the 2 piece tone ring off of the crank. The top picture is a 12v crank, the bottom 2 are 24v cranks, it gives you an idea of what to look for.

Keep the block together and just use the ECM from the 02, which eliminates the need for the crank sensor. If you dont have an ECM, pick one up from ebay or a junkyard. Might need the engine harness as well, not totally sure on that one. Might be able to use your harness and leave the crank sensor connector off, depends on if dodge changed the connectors around or not. This may be your only option if the 02 block does not have a place for the crank sensor to thread into.
