360 out of a ramcharger
« on: April 16, 2010 - 07:55:12 PM »
Hello! I just purchased a 360 out of a 1984 ramcharger. I am going to put it in my challenger. I know I have to change the oil pan and the sump pump, but what changes will I have to make so it will work with my 318 motor mounts from the original engine?

Since it's a pre magnum engine it should bolt right in place of the 318. The balance on the torque converter or flywheel may be different if you are using the ones that came with your car

the left engine mount is different on the 340/360 from the 318

I believe you can--needs to be shimmed up on one side..

CP - is it the block to mount adapter that's different between the two? I did not know that.

The difference in the brackets are small. They can be used with shimming (washers) with a little effort.
