Magnum 318 / 360 engine

John! Just seen the thread...

IF you get the computer with the engine and trans, then it makes no difference on the trans. RH is the Hyd., AKA, no computer needed, RE AKA electric/electronic shifted trans, computer needed.

All Magnum heads should be considered cracked and able to be run as is no issue since the cracks, if not out of control and freakishly huge, are not an issue.

Any engine/trans gear would do IMO.
So for me, the one with the lowest miles wins the spot. Your only need is a rear wheel drive truck/SUV.

Thanks Rob. Ya, The 96 318 Motor I bought had cracked heads ( 7 out of 8 chambers - between the seats ). Since I did some pocket port work on them anyway, I just had some fresh seats put in them. Will keep your post in mind for future head purchases though. I'm up to speed on 727 rebuilds, but never done a 46 series trans - RH or RE? I will put RWD and lo miles as part of my looking criteria. Thanks for the info, John
