Well can you give us more info about the '92? What engine is currently in it? The 360 is externally identical to the 318, so you would have direct fit parts for the 360. I don't know much about the 340, but I'd imagine it would be a lot more work.

All 5.9s are the same from Dakota R/T, Rams, Vans, Jeeps. And check the FAQ2 in this section for engine swaps.
