ram 1500 slant 6 to 318 swap
i have a early 80s ram truck that has a slant 6 in it and want to drop a 318 from a 85 ram charger and still have the ramcharger for parts what will i need to do the swap and is it even worth it for the work ill have to do.

The truck and Ramcharge frames for the motor area are the same so everything should just bolt right together.
Swapping from a slant 6 to a small block V8 will be noticable. These are pretty heavy trucks for a 6 cylinder. Depending if hte motor is TBI or carb, you may want to add on some performance upgrades (headers, intake, carb, pulleys, etc.) while swapping the V8 in. |
Tim, I thought the slant six k`s on the trucks were like the cars, and you needed an adapter kit. So the 6 mounts are square blocks like the 8`s and you can just use the 8 mounts on the saddle?
