 Subject: 360 in 95 ext cab 4x4 manual
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 1995 Dodge Dakota Extended Cab 4x4 with a 5.2 and manual trans. I love this truck, it has 150,000 miles, it is paid off, and it tows my drag car just fine (almost 5000lbs car+trailer). I was thinking when the 318 dies, I would throw a 360 in, for more towing power, has anybody done this? is it a pain? I would love to do this. Don't want any other truck, this one is perfect blend of size and power. Thank you.

should,nt be much of a problem,depending on the year of motor.the motor mounts bolt on the engine different on the older 360s[if you stay with the mag you should be fine] you,ll need a different fly wheel,because the 318s are int balanced,the360s are ext balanced.you may want a 360 pcm,though the 318 pcm should run it fine.
hope this helps some.

You will HAVE to get:
360 Magnum Flywheel from a 93-02 Ram 2500 or 3500. If you order it new, they are about $400.
360 Harmonic Balancer, hopefully your donor motor will already have one. If not, they are about $100.
360 Oil Pan, if you can get one from a Dakota R/T, they work just fine. If you have to buy one new, figure $75-$100.
You SHOULD get but you don't have to:
A PCM for a 360, but your 318 PCM will run the motor.
A set of Ford Motorsport (FMS) 19lb injectors. They're a nice mod anyway, and your 360 will be happier with them, than without. They can be had for $150-$200
All of your accessories will bolt on. Your wiring harness will work just fine. Your motor mounts will work just fine, etc., etc.
If I've forgotten anything, somebody else can jump in here.

Thanks a lot Vern and Bill, great info and a lot of help. Hopefully my next post will be how much better a 360 is in my truck. I appreciate it.
