Old School vs Magnum on 86 Dodge W100

I'm putting a 1998 360 Magnum in my 72 B-body. It had an original 318LA that died. Im doing just what Trailbeast did by swapping the entire front end of the 318LA onto the Magnum 360. I went with a carb and tossed all the efi. The biggest expense was the intake manifold. I went with an edelbrock air gap, that actually cost more than the $200 I paid for the engine. It is a very easy swap that should run very well bolted to my 904 trans.

Good luck!
Yep, that's what I'm seeing too, the intake is more than the engine. I've decided for today I'm going to go ahead and do the rebuild of the magnum, polish crank, replace cam, etc while I'm deciding whether to go EFI or Carb. Carburation is simpler but will cost me more (intake and carb).
