Transmission- I've got an NV-3500, of which the bellhousing will bolt to a
318/360. Wiring harness/computer issues, I don't see that as that big of a
problem. The central timer module-CTM is a seperate circuit, correct?
Therefore, If I ran a 318/360 wiring harness under the hood, used a correct
matching PCM, I think that it would work. I would more than likely use a
carburetor or aftermarket EFI system anyway. The only thing that really
concerns me is the actual mounting. I mean, they built 2000 model R/T's, so
anything that varies from my engine compartment to a 360 engine compartment
I could readily get from dealer parts. It's not that I dislike my engine, it
has been pretty good and continues to be. I am just thinking about the
future and what I'll do with this truck later.

NOTHING is the same,Will.I checked on this approach
from the opposite angle (replace my 3.9 LA motor with
the 4.7). I was told that a 318 or 360 swap would be
much cheaper,because not only does the 4.7 use it`s
own transmission,but different computers totally,and
different wiring harnesses.So your truck is vastly
different than any LA engine/tranny setup.What do you
not like about your engine? Steve P.
