Ran into this listing, and seems like a beyond fair deal to me. I currently have a 318 on my '75 Duster, and would not mind dishing out for the 360 motor and parts at this price. Is this worth it? Would it fit? Are brackets the only thing needing to be changed? Currently have a 8 1/4 rear with 3.55s. Is the transmission on this offer necessary, or is my current trans good to go, or should I take the transmission offered as well? Has a video with it running and starting, so seems good to go. Any general advice is welcomed! I don't currently have to tools to do the swap myself, so will be done at a trusted mechanic.

It's showm both in the car and on the table disassembled. I'd ask which is it? Is it a running engine or is it disassembled and why? Also, if it is a running engine and supposedly good transmission, why is it so cheap? Nine times out of ten when something seems to good to be true, it is. I'd be really careful here.

I agree, be very careful. Have seen a bunch of these be scams. They steal ads, change location and lower the price a bunch or just steal pictures and make an ad. I have found my car for sale three times.
see if there is a member here close that can go look at it for you and pay him a little instead of losing a LOT
your 318 motor mounts, transmission, and torque converter will all work on the 5.9 magnum and it's flexplate. You'll need a car oil pan/pickup tube. Your exhaust most likely will work, especially if you already have headers. Now as far as the add goes, sounds like it's disassembled, and I'd want to know why. Looks to be the chinese intake. Jasper does good job on reman-motors. Lots of scammers out there so no payment until I'm there in person looking at the stuff.

Don't send any money and take someone with you if you go look at it.
It looks like a truck to me. So a pan will be in order as 318willrun has stated.

Where are you located in Texas?
It wound up selling before I could get to it, so there goes that idea! But good looking out. Thanks everyone.
Located near McAllen.
