Will this transmission mate up to my 318? 1974 Duster with the original 318 I have a good deal on an nv 4500 I wanted to know if it would work

Hello I’ve read through most of this article and I’m just curious. I have a running and driving 5.9 Durango I’m using for everything I need to do the swap. Can I just drop the motor into my 74 duster and bolt up a 5speed and use the factory Durango timing cover setup? I will be using factory efi...

Sorry I read that wrong. Thank you for the info I think I’m gonna move forward with the swap

Sadly the 3 speed manual has a snapped output shaft and is currently in pieces. Transmission shop apparently couldn’t find parts for it. I’m glad to hear no tunnel mods required!

It runs good and the body on it is in decent shape though The interior is a little rough. I honestly planned on using the factory fuel injection from whatever vehicle the motor came from. I know how this motor runs and know it doesn’t make any weird noises. I’m still on the fence about it but...

So the automatic transmission will fit pretty well? Or will there be some modifications required?

hey all. Recently I’ve had a nice 2000 5.9 durango fall into my lap and I was wondering what parts would need to be acquired to fit that motor into my 74 3 speed duster. The Duster has been sitting for awhile due to the transmission going out. Cool thing about it is it’s been in the family for...

Thank you again for your help. At this point in time I just want to drive it. I don't want to spend hours on end and dollar after dollar to put a five speed in it. When the time and extra money come I'll buy a tremec and do what I gotta do to fit it in there

Long term goals But I guess I just shell out 600 bones for a 4 speed and save myself a headache or two

Couple years late on the reply but it's a 318 lmao Never mind I guess I did reply! haha been gone for awhile

So what do you suggest I do? I'd like it to be pretty zippy and I wanna do some sort of restomod to it. Like modern suspensions n such

The account selling it classifies it as an nv3500 out of a 94 2wd Dakota http://m.ebay.com/itm/131714610194

Hi! Someone recommend I send you a pm about an nv3500 out of a Dakota swap into my 74 318 duster? I'd like to know if it's worth the hassle

Thank you, this might be the most helpful post to me. I know the entire rear end in the car is different. My dad was the one who swapped it out. I'm not sure what the top speed of a 318 3 speed should've been but my gps had said I never passed 79 mph and that's almost topped out. The motor also...

I was actually on that page on google before coming to FABO! lol I'm thinking I'm gonna go ahead and snatch up this trans
