Red face 5.2 to 5.9 engine swap

Alright please any help would be very much appreciated. I have a 98 ram 5.2 318 4x4. Im hearing som knocks in my engine as well as oil being burned. Instead of going through the trouble of fixing it, I heard a engine swap is pretty easy and I would like to go with the 5.9 360. Theres a 360 on craigslist but its 2wd. Would that matter? its also a 98. What years should I look for? just to keep my eye open. Thanks guys, again anything is appreciated. any tips on what problems i can run into would be great too.

a 92-02 360 will work, youd just need to use your intake manifold and sensors if it was a 92-95

you know... you could rebuild the 318, just a thought
