Magnum 318 / 360 engine

John Cailey said

My post didn't generate much feed back? Maybe if I simplify it and just say; Looking for a Dodge / Chrysler in my local bone yard with a 318 / 360 Magnum engine and drivetrain to swap in to my next project car. What years would I be looking for? Any years better than others? - avoiding the cracked heads problem, etc. John

John! Just seen the thread...

IF you get the computer with the engine and trans, then it makes no difference on the trans. RH is the Hyd., AKA, no computer needed, RE AKA electric/electronic shifted trans, computer needed.

All Magnum heads should be considered cracked and able to be run as is no issue since the cracks, if not out of control and freakishly huge, are not an issue.

Any engine/trans gear would do IMO.
So for me, the one with the lowest miles wins the spot. Your only need is a rear wheel drive truck/SUV.
