I currently have a 318 in my 99 Ram 4wd that is tired and ready for replacement. I am redoing this truck from tires up and need advice.
The truck is Reg cab short wheel base. I am planning a 5" suspension lift/3" body lift and 37" tires. The truck is currently stock with 33". The truck is used on weekends for Hunting/Towing/ and the occasional Recovery of a stuck friend. First of all I am planning a 360 engine swap, What HP and Torque should I build motor for its use? I know there are stroker kits out there but not sure if i will get the dependability I need for Towing. Since I am Swapping a '99 360 to keep TBI injection, I need other sources for rebuild kits because Summit racing for some reason couldnt answer my questions.
I am also updating Transmission/Transfer case/axles and gears but cant really answer those questions until I decide the power of my Motor. Please help cause I am Stuck in a Rut?
