83 318 in to a 91 k5 help
hey every body! this is my first time posting. i have a 83 d150 pick up. i bought a new/rebuilt 318 5.2L, and rebuilt the A 727. drove from texas to ga. hauled a trailer around for a week, went across ga and back. the trans mount bolts came loose half way in between. nuckel head i am, i drove it to make a dead line. needless to say the reverse went out around 3000 miles. b4 and when rebuilding the trans i think it came out like 6 times to change something. im sick of fooling with it. my girlfriend has a 91 k5 blazer that wont run. i have the 3 year 100,000 warrenty on my 318. but i havent done a project this big yet. i have no clue if its possible with in a small budget, i figure i would need to rebuild the trans in the k5, get a trans adaptor, trans linkage,motor mounts, some kind of exhaust setup-no emission required. i want to run the engine as is, just switch everything over. can anybody offer any advice. im kinda shooting in the dark on this one. it would be way easier to just rebuild my trans, but i think it grts tecq. with the transfer case and drive line specs.:confused: also what kind of hp. diffrence is there btween the 5.2L 318 2barrel and the 5.7L 350 tbi. the dodge is a great work truck, but looks like crap. plus the k5 is 4x4 and is in verry god shape body wise. it would be used for towing a trailer max 8000lbs, and around town some 4 weeling i imagan.
