Engine swap help

I have a 1988 DodgeW100 4x4 auto with a 318 motor. and I have a 75 440Hp that I want to install in it, what kind of issues will I be facing, or will it even work? if it will work will I have to make a lot of changes??

Your biggest problem will be the trans. There are three ways to go.
Get a 4x4 727 BigBlock trans.
Also could use an adapter to adapt your trans to BB motor
You could also get a a late 518/46re? overdrive- also requires an adapter
