Want to put a 2001 fuel injected 360 into a 1982 Dodge Ram W150 with the original 4 speed transmission. I understand 360 is externally balanced and the 318 is internally balanced. So I would basically need a 360 clutch and pressure plate. Any tips or advice from any veteran dodge mechanics?...

(PS - The 360 will be rebuilt with mild cam setup)

it can be done but the biggest thing is how good are you with wiring and computers? you will most likely need some sort of aftermarket fuel injection system like mega squirt because using the computer from a 2001 would be a pain unless you want to build a custom dash to hold the 2001's gauges because stuff went digital.
