I'm not 100% sure but I doubt that the wires will plug in easy. If you have access to the 318 right now go check every connector. You should get everything from the Engine, intake, wires, computer. I think you will have to swap out the wiring harness as well as the computer. The exhaust manifold may fit. I wish i could help you more. Maybe someone else will have some Ideas!
