I would love a lift and rims i am looking at now, Does anyone know where i can get my truck painted nicely round minnesota?

What would you guys suggest on the headers?
Exhaust system?

And how hard is it to replace a 318 from a 360? I have looked at threads too.
headers, id suggest longtubes, exhaust, thats up to you, and what you like.

318, to 360 swap, is dead easy. course i made it A LOT harder than it needed to be, but i got it done.

360, has a bit more hp, and tq. there is more potential for better mods, because the 360 can take a bigger cam than the 318.

360 also has the potential to get a bit better mpg's due to more power to get the truck going easier.
