So I recently acquired an 88 ramcharger 360, 4x4 that I intended to put on the road, but the title work fell through, so I've decided to donate the motor to my 76 D100 that currently has a slant six, I intend to keep the slant and rebuild it so I don't want to completely change everything in doing this swap. I would like to keep my 3 speed manual transmission in the interest of not working on this thing forever, plus I'm okay with not going fast, I just want to make some noise. Is it as straightforward as finding the right bell housing, motor mounts and a flywheel, or have I completely underestimated the work that I'm in for?

 

Should be straight forward with no problems. The '88 360 should have carb, '89 360 F.I. making it easiest for you, having both vehicles is a huge bonus.

 

You will need a small block v8 bellhousing for a 77 and a flywheel/clutch and bellcrank for a 360. The belcranks (6 and v8) are not only differant lengths but different ratios also.
