I've been collecting data on this same swap for some time now, (mine is
'89) but haven't had the time to do it yet. Seems no one has, in my
opinion, done a professional job of this type. I currently have the 3.9
V6 with A500 transmission. If you do this please document it amd put
it on the list. I do know that the earlier 318's and the Magnum series
have the motor mounts in different locations. The older versions have
the front moutnings and the Magnums have a center mount. I would like
to retain the TBI or perhaps even go to the sequential multi point. I
know this involves the electronics, but the salvage yards should have a
few wiring harnesses around that could be adapted to our vehicles.

Good luck.

Azie
