Question 95 5.9L Mag fits into --- ?

hey, ive been toying with the idea of plucking the engine from my truck and putting into a car. im curious if somebody knows where i can find out what this engine will fit into ?

the truck isnt pretty, but the engine runs strong still, and the tranny is iffy. if i can find an interesting platform, i think it would make a fun project.
its a 95 Ram 1500 2WD, not OBDII
im thinking stuff like:
94 Dodge Shadow
95 LeBaron
95 Spirit / Acclaim
95 Stratus
95 Eagle Vision

etc, similar year RWD cars

any ideas on other models, or if there is a better choice for fitment, even outside the mopar family?

To be honest, anything is possible with the right amount of time. I've seen a guy stuff a 454 big block into an 82 Toyota pickup that originally had a 4 cylinder..

...time and money. How much do you plan to spend on this swap project?

Probably anything that came with the 318/360 magnum engine would be pretty much a drop in. Older cars, that used the A, or LA versions will need different motor mounts, and you may have fun with exhaust routing.....
