Default dodge 1500 318/360 swap questions

Hey I got a couple question for you I got a 99 dodge ram 1500 5.2l with the 318 and I just recently bought a dodge that rolled for pretty cheap and it has the 5.9 the 360 in it and I was going to do a engine and tranny swap in it to mine with the 318 in it and I was wondering I have heard it is a straight bolt up to the motor mounts but i will swap motor and tranny and the computers but is there anything that I might need to know before I do it im 17 and doing it by myself or basically will it just drop straight in and bolt up and everything I would really appreciate any help

318 computer will be too lean, get the 360 computer, and make sure it is the same year, trans, and security group computer as the current vehicle. (power locks, alarm, etc.)
