1. When the Magnum 360CID V8 EFI came out in the 90's, what trucks/cars
did it appear
in? They appeared in the Dodge Rams (all trims - 1500 through 3500), Ram
Vans (if memory serves, only the 250/2500 and 350/3500), Dakotas (R/T's all
came with 360's, some Quad Cabs did also, both 4x2 and 4x4), and it was an
option in the Durango as well (all years until 2004, i think).

2. Does an older Magnum 360 motor ( like from the mid 90's ) bolt up to
a 46RH
tranny? Do I need an adapter, new torque converter, flexplate, or nothing
at all? the original Magnum 5.9L/360 came mated to the 46RH. in 1996 (i
think), the 46RH was replaced by the 46RE (where the overdrive is
electronically engaged). it should bolt up fine.

3. If I swap out my 318 for a 360, what is all the other crap that I'll
likely have to
deal with?? PCM, Fuel pump, fuel pressure reg., exhaust headers, motor
mounts?
etc. i think the only thing you will have to deal with is the PCM.
everything else is compatible.

( Bonus question: does anyone remember what a Magnum 360 motor from the
mid-to-late-90s
did in terms of HP and TQ ? ) 245hp @ 4500RPM, 340lbs/ft @ 1900RPM (as
per my MP Magnum Engines, 2d Edition book, pg. 87).
