My 318 is just a few months away from turninng 300,000miles in the last year she has begun to burn a little oil and has started to knock rather loud on innitial startup. I hit car-parts.com lastnight and got looking around and found a 360 out of a 2500 with only 28k miles on it and because of $$$ situations am considering just dropping it in there. All my mods will go on the new engine and this spring (after tax time) it will get a cam and a new set hughes heads. Other than compression and why the engine was pulled what are some other things I should check and ask before I purchase this engine.

The reason I don't just build a motor now is because of the $$$ issiues. I sat down a few months ago and to build my new engine it's going to cost me almost $6000. Either way I am going to need a 360 block. This way I have the block when I get ready to do it in a few years and until then I still have my truck in good running order. Plus I can spend around $2500 when I get my tax money back and I can put 300hp-350hp to the rear wheels and be happy with that for awhile. Anybody know if aTorque converter from a 318 will bolt up to the 360? I know I have to have the flywheel and all that good stuff but not sure about the TC.
