Yes it all will. The only thing I think and not know is the exhaust manifold to the pipes, I think it will be a direct bolt on.

Also don't be scared to start a new thread instead of posting a very old one.

Default Gen I 4WD V8 Swap

I have a sweetheart '87 Dak 3.9 4WD short box standard cab manual, AC, loaded, that I bought new. It now has about 115 M miles and is completely original. Never a problem, except of course, it can't get out of its own way. It's even worse because it came with the 2.9 gears and 5th is only good for downhill with a tail wind. Pretty soft suspension as well. I want to repower it; it appears a stroker is not an option, so a 318/360 is my next consideration. I have a low miles 360 from a '77 1 ton PowerWagon if I could get it in there. I hear the 5 spd is unlikely to hold up - I'm not a racer, just need some low end guts. Is there existing documentation of this swap or available commercial swap kits? I'm an old guy, so project wise, smaller is better; decent knucklebuster, but welding will have to be out-sourced. Any help appreciated.
