>Can i use the origional computer in my truck, or do i need to get one
out of a ram? YES, YOU NEED A RAM PCM, BUT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY A
MOPAR HIGH-PERFORMANCE PCM FOR THE SAME YEAR RAM AS YOUR DAKOTA
>Harness interchangeable? USE THE DAKOTA HARNESS
>Ive heard the flywheel from my 318 will do bad things to a 360. Is
this true? YOU NEED A FLEXPLATE AND CONVERTER FROM A 360, THEY ARE
EXTERNALLY BALANCED.
>And if it is, will my stock torque converter bolt up to a flywheel designed
for the 360?YOU CAN USE YOUR 318'S, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT BALANCED
FOR THE 360, MOPAR MAKES A BALANCE KIT FOR THAT.
>Will everything else bolt up to the 360? headers, accessorys, and engine
mounts?
YES, MAKE SURE YOU USE THE MATCHING OILPAN & DIPSTICK COMBO.
