This is my first post and I’m hoping I’ll find the info I need.
My son has a 1985 Ram D150.
It currently has a 225 slant 6 that is shot. A friend of mine has a Chrysler 360 V8 and a transmission that he is willing to give to us for it. He’s also going to help with the swap.
I just need to get some mounts to convert from slant 6 to V8.
I understand that it’s not a direct swap. I need some mounts. Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as finding the parts I need?

Thanks

 

That's one sharp looking truck. Definitely worth a new engine. It was designed for up to a 440 engine so room won't be the problem. You'll need the frame mount parts that bolt to the frame. You might be able to find some in the salvage yard, if you can find a Dodge there, or you can try here;

You're going to find a lot of things that will need converting and replacing. I'd go through the engine you're putting in and replace the timing chain, oil pump (high VOLUME, not high pressure unit) and check the expansion plugs for any rotten ones and replace them all if any are bad. These are all much easier to do on an engine stand rather than in the truck. Put a new front seal in the transmission too. They will usually start to leak when disturbed and you'll save yourself several hours of aggravation.
