318 swap for 5.7 magnum hemi?

Alright now dont hate me but ive seen some sites showing people dropping newer mopar hemis into old kbodies, but im wondering how much easier/ difficult it is to put a 5.7 magnum hemi into an m body? An 84 5th avenue.

Its basically a funky small block so I don't know what the problem is, fab mounts to use the transmission on the 5.7 you will need to make room for it possibly you could use a floor pan from a Challenger for clearance. It can be done it's just how much time and money do you want to spend.

An M body is a later F body which will take a RB motor or even a gen 2 Hemi so a gen 3 is an easy fit size wise.
