Default Dakota 1996 318 magnum head-swap?

Hello everyone!

One question
- I have 96´ Dakota 318 magnum. - If I swap the heads to the same 360 has, do I then basically have a 360 engine?

Best regards - Hansuman

Nope. Still a 318. The engine size is dependant on more internals than that. piston size, different camshaft, the 318 is internally balanced on the crankshaft the 360 is external on the flywheel etc etc. not sure if there is even a difference in the heads or not, would be for an R/T dakota but otherwise the heads are the same I think.
