Hi everyone, I currently own a 1983 dodge ram van b150 equipped with a slant six. I am looking to swap the slant six with a 318. My question is will a 318 in the same era bolt up too the tranny that is currently coupled with the slant six... Thank you

You will also need different exhaust and likely a larger radiator. Don't forget the different throttle linkage as well.

And different engine mounts, some wiring changes, fan shroud most likely,air cleaner assemebly, kickdown linkage, and so forth.

In the end it's your vehicle, but I went down this road before and it's money ahead to jsut rebuild the slant over being nickle and dimed to death.
