Default is this right

im seriously considering a 360 swap into my d100 its a 318 now my question is do i need anything besides a flexplate with weights that my 318 torque converter can bolt to. i was looking around online and that seems to be all i need. is this the correct one http://www.jegs.com/i/B%26amp%3BM/130/10236/10002/-1 it does have the dual bolt pattern 10" and 11 1/8". also i would need to use my intake carb ect will there be any issues using my distributer it is a electric spark with the computer behind the battery. it was out of a van so the oil pan and mounts should be the right ones correct. i really hope someone on here will help and let me know if theres anything else i need or if i got it down. i really appreciate it guys thanks

On the LA motoers the 360 intake had bigger ports I think, if so you would be better using the 360 intake and carb.
For ignition I would get rid of the computer crap and go with the Mopar conversion from Mancini racing or Summit.

Cheap is good. I prefer cheap also but there are things that are a must during this swap. The computers in our trucks are specifically built for each application. When you change the engine the computer can not be reused due to a lack of input from your new systems and a lack of devices to control engine performance. A carb setup and a change back to a 4 pin electronic system that includes a pick-up style distributer and resistor is probably the cheapest way to go because they are readily available at the junk yard.
