Has anyone done this conversion? Mine has an auto trans and 360 now. The 360 is trash, so since I need to replace the engine, I figured I'd upgrade. Would like more umph when towing. What would be involved? The Cummins conversion is too pricey for me, so it's out. Thanks

i put a 360 in a 1982 ram that started with a 318. . it looked like the frame had holes for a 440. i have checked out the place that xjarhead69 listed, it looks like a great place to get the right parts.

 

Frames and most body panels (minus bed) didn't change until 85-ish. Making it super easy to drop a 440 into one of the early Rams.
