PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't put a stinkin chebbie engine in your Dodge!
There is NO good reason to use a chebbie instead of a smallblock Dodge engine.
All you need for success with a 318-360 is a timing case off an early (pre '67) wideblock 318 which accomodates a front engine mount, and the rest of the installation is a piece of cake.
See the May '94 Power Wagon Advertiser for an article with pictures on the smallblock Mopar conversion. PWA has back copies available for $4 each.
