I have a 58 W-200 that had a 315c.i. Poly in it. I restored the truck and put a 315Hemi in it no problem at all,BOLT IN. Don't let these guys tell you it costs double to rebuild a Hemi, its bull.
Many of the bearings are the same as the 318 and all parts are available. I had some forged pistons made for mine. They are neet motors anlook unique in the truck. If I were you I might consider a 354c.i. Hemi. I had a 66 Town Wagon with that motor in it and it fit well. Afriend of mine also just finished putting a 383c.i. ungine in a 64 W-200 Crew Cab and it worked out well. Good luck.


P.S. Check the early Hemi page more more info on these engines
