OK, your call. I am an accomplished, very experienced mechanic. I swapped
my
'96 Ram 1500 318 that had a broken crank snout with a 360 from 2001. The
'01
was an automatic and the '96 was a 5 speed. Before I was done, it had cost
me $4,500 all in and I did all the work. There are a number of pitfalls.
Explain to the group your specifics and I'll see if I can add some
tidbits.
