You'll need the engine, transmission (V6 tranny is too weak for the 318), a
custom driveshaft, and attach new motor mounts. Figure out how to attach
an electric fan to the radiator (the engine bay is too short), and possibly
get a larger radiator. Then, you'll need to wire up the Mopar computer
replace the throttle linkage, exhaust, and fuel lines. Depending on how
the fuel pump in your tank works, you might need a new pump, or even a new
tank, the Magnum engines do not use a fuel return line. That's just the
stuff I know off the top of my head. You'll likely run into a lot more.
It might be cheaper to look for a '92+ truck.
