97 Ram 360 PCM (manual or automatic transmission depending on which one you go with), either a 46RE (Auto) or NV4500 (Manual), and a 97 360 Intake and Wire Harness.

well can I just swap interior and everything from the 98 to my 97 and keep the nv3500 behind it I’ve read on here you can use the nv3500behind the 360

You can, but, don't expect the NV3500 to last long behind the 360. There is a reason they never came that way from the factory.

Instead of trying to use the 98 electronics, getting the wiring/pcm from a 96 or 97 truck would be much easier. Also, the 98 intake manifold isn't going to have a provision for the second coolant temp sensor.... you will have to either get a different intake, or, drill/tap for the second sensor.

You have to get a flywheel and clutch for a 5.9 2500 with the nv4500 transmission, because the 5.9 has an externally balanced flywheel.
