I have an 88 and I'm building a 360 pre-mag to drop in. I know that I will
have to move the motor mounts, get a larger radiator, and probably use
electric fans. Use the electric fuel pump.
I didn't know that magnum water pumps were shorter.

Hi,
I talked with a guy at the track one night with gen I truck and he said if
you bolt a magunum motor in the truck you can fit it in better than a premag
because of the water pump design..... Mag's are shorter!

anyone else but a non magnum V8 in their gen 1 dakotas? I have a 3.9
currently backed by a 5 speed, motors getting tired and thinking about a
318/340/360. I know it will bolt up to the tranny and i'll probably have to
run electric fans but what about motor mounts and other things like, do you
still use the electric fuel pump and screw mechanical etc. etc.
