Cheaper than dirt 318 build

You won't need to get or change the K frame. Trucks don't really have one anyway. If you get to pull the engine from the parts truck, take a pic of the holes in the subframe where the motor mount bolts go thru. Then compare that pic to what you find when you pull the slant out of your truck. The truck subframes are all the same, but have different holes, depending on engine, where the motor mount stud that comes out of the rubber mount goes thru. It might be hard to picture in your head if you've never see that area, but you will get it when you see it. You will see knockouts in the subframe for other sets of holes. If you're lucky, the ones for a slant may be the same as for a small block.

If your truck doesn't have to pass emissions in MI, remove the air pump and brackets and toss them! If I remember right, the brackets might be tied to the PS pump bracket. If they are, be careful with the 2nd bolt up from the bottom. If that bolt goes thru both brackets, be sure to use enough washers to mimic the thickness of the bracket you remove, in order to not let that bolt go in too deep and puncture # 1 cylinder.

Good luck with it. Don't build too much HP or torque into the 318 or you might scatter that 833OD in short order!
