The cam in the 380 HP Crate 360 will give a factory PCM a real snit. TOO
much duration.

Looks like you have a 318 in it now. The MPI reman or MP MPI 360 can be
made to work. At a MINIMUM, flexplate/flywheel for a 360, and a PCM change
to one for a 360 will be needed. On the PCM, B&G Chysler is the way to go
if the truck is a stick or 2001 and newer, otherwise, you can probably get
away with a MP PCM if it is an auto.
