Make sure you swap injectors, the 94 injectors are different.

Also, make sure the PCM is NOT a Sport PCM if yours is not a sport, as it won't work, and make sure the injectors are off of a non-sport as well.

There is a difference, Sport models use different injectors, they usually work okay on non-sport motors, and some Sport models use a different PCM calibration.

Show me dyno figures and actual side by side comparisons.


Dodge was (is) so damn cheap I highly doubt they ever did that.

There is no power difference.

The injectors were like a fraction of a pound different rating.

Go to rockauto.com, they list two different injectors, and so does my parts interchange. One is for sport, one is for non-sport. Any rate, if we are going to keep debating this, put it in the giberish thread.

I shall rest, for the sake of the OP, however, I just checked 4 different model years on RA, and there was NOTHING specified for the Sport trucks. ZIP. ZERO. NADA.

Nothing.

for the record... i have a 98 360 in my 01 with the original 5.2 computer. i had hemifever canned tunes on it before i got the custom tune, and it ran the 360 just fine.

edit: invest in a wideband sensor/gauge. it will help dial in a/f ratio once you get the 360 installed.

I am doing something similar and I have hit a dead end.
I have a 96 Ram 1500 with a 360 that the previous owner spun a rod bearing. I picked up a 94 318 from a Jeep Cherokee and everything swapped out until I got to hooking up the torque convertor, I have the flex plate from the 318 and 1 bolt hole is about 1/2 a bolt diameter out of alignment.

Can I use the flex plate off the 360 ? as it is now, It looks like I will have to pull the engine back out and start over.
