Here's the scenario...
My son has a 1976 Power Wagon in Colorado. I took out the 318 in the granny four-speed and put in an LA 360 and an automatic pretty much stock besides a factory cast iron 4 barrel intake and a 1406 Edelbrock... It's got power steering..
If I was to pick up a 360 Magnum out of a truck at a Pick-n-Pull for under $200 with a 6-month warranty here in Portland Oregon and drove it out to him to do the swap and have everything prepared what would I need?...
That is the real question. I have to bring almost everything to make it happen...
the last thing I want to do is get there and find out I've got to order some part that takes a week or two to get or something crazy and expensive...
Beyond gaskets I would need the intake manifold? I would need to grab the engine with valve covers and it's on flexplate? I would put all the LA timing cover and so forth on it... I would need to order the little cam from Hughes engines to put on the snout for the fuel pump... why do I remember someone talking about a special harmonic balancer? Or something to hold the belt drive on the harmonic balancer? Do I need the factory Magnum one or can I put the LA one on? I'm assuming the LA exhaust manifolds will bolt right on..? I'm assuming I will pull the distributor out of the LA and drop it right into the Magnum?.. motor mounts will bolt right up? Starter transmission bolts everything no problem? And he has the old fashioned starter witch it's kind of fun... from what I gather the oil pan doesn't need to be attached if I bring it from one truck to the next? Thank you for everybody's help....
