We installed the 370-180 in a '98 Sport (5.2) and in a '99 R/T...fits
perfectly (stock manifold).

   Jay,

  The 370-180 will only work if you've got an MPI intake manifold. If
you've still got the stock intake, I think you'll want a 400-180 or a
GT755-180. The 755 is the "Generation Two" which is supposed to be a
longer life t-stat. I don't know too much about 'em though; go to your
local parts store, check 'em both out and buy the one that gives you the
fuzziest feeling. :-)
