I agree with that I had a 86 ram i got cheap because the transmission was "bad" i took it home dropped the pan changed the filter and adjusted the bands and drove it for over a year. I still have that transmission. I pulled the motor and tranny and used the rest of the truck to fix up a 85 4x4 I had that 318 and transmission was the original plan for my dart before I found out it needed machine work so then I decided to go with the 360.
