Have the block checked before you spend any money on parts.

360 is external balance, as opposed to the 318's internal, harmonic dampener, and driveplate/pressure plate are specific to them. Easily available at the parts store though. All your other accessories/sensors will bolt right on/hook right up. You WILL need a custom tune, just let your tuner know what you are doing, and what parts you have in the engine. You might also need bigger injectors.......

I would have the crank checked as well before just tossing it. If you want to run high revs for relatively long periods of time though...... (and you ARE a mudder.....) a forged crank, and balanced rotating assembly would be a very good plan.

That is exactly what I mean. Hemifever is certainly the go-to guy for that particular little toy.

LOLOL

If his truck is 98, pretty much guaranteed to work OK. But..... the only thing you are going to be changing is size of the motor........ so, just flash your pcm to the new motor (the custom tune from hemi fever), and avoid some peripheral issues that come from swapping PCM's.

On the T/C.... I don't know..... I think at one time, dodge put weights on it to balance the engine.... and the 318 and 360 units were different. However, when I look at them today....... they show the same part number for both engines.... I would verify that the one you have will work, before actually installing the engine.
