i got a 87 d250 with a 318. really the only good things are the motor and trans(they only have 70,000 miles on them). the rest is rotted out. i would dont know what to do with it im considering swapping the motor into something. if any has any ideas on what to do with the truck or something that the motor would swap into easily enough (dont care if its a car truck or whatever) it would help a lot

I dont know if it would be worth it to swap the motor into anything... I would turn it into a mudder!

You can get a second gen ram and put it all into that . ... I have the 318 and love it .
And with those low miles .. why not ?

would it be worth turning it into a mudder since its 2wd. and would it be bad putting in a second gen since they are fuel injected and this is carborated?

It would be easier to swap since it has a carb
Check your local laws though some states wont allow you to title a vehicle if you put an older motor in a newer vehicle because of emmisions

Find a 4x4 with a hurt motor and make it a woods truck

Dakota was my thought... I would find a 3.9 Dak (or one with a beat 5.2) and throw the 318 into it.
