Well wtf why?
When pulling anything the 318 in my experience was a lil more torquier than the 360, the 318 got up better with a trailer and when just regular driving got better mpgs. Plus I got a really good deal on this 318 and the complete motor has around 128k 1 owner.

So eh why not.

Idk. He may do it differently, but the way I did it it's going just fine. But unfortunately I'm pulling the 5.9 back out and selling it. I wanna put a 318 in the green 97 instead and I just bought one with 128k miles today. So this 5.9 is coming out next weekend.
