Magnum 318 info

I don't know depending on mileage and running condition "around here" that would not be bad for engine + trans. BUT the trans is likely to be electronic (44/ 46RE instead of RH) and that means you need an EFI computer to operate it. "I think" I've found out there's a manual valve body conversion available, so there is that. Plus it needs to be a 2wd trans, not 4x4 if you actually intend to use it. On top of that using an OD auto requires at the very least serious crossmember surgery and if it's the A518/ 727 based there are assertations you need to cut the floor some

What are your transmission intentions?

Just so you know, the 5.9/ 360 in my 01 2500 has a factory auto, and the crank IS NOT DRILLED at all for a stick. I was thinking of swapping a 4/ 5 speed stick into it, AKA NP435 4 speed or NV4500 5 speed. I'd have to drill the crank

If you plan on running an older 904/ 727 auto that will bolt right up, but there's another thread on here "troubles with the flexplate."
