Magnum MPFI 360s came out in 1992, in Ram trucks and Ran Vans... later
in Dakota Quadcabs in 2000 and Durangos 1998.
Last V8 powered sedan was the Diplomat generation - early 80s I believe

Bellhousing bolt pattern on the engines are the same, trans should work
fine... make sure you get a PCM from a truck without an electronically
controled tranny - as the computer will look for stuff that isnt there.
PCM from a stick shift truck will work, or one from a Ram with a 46RH...

PCM, will need to be changed, fuel pump and pressure regulator are fine
- PSI should be the same... check for compatibility between returnless
and return fuel systems however... motor mounts are the same, exhaust
manifolds are the same.
