And now I need to get the right oil pan.
I got the Torque converter with it does any one know if I can use it with my old trasmision?

 

[Stephen Hotz]

Use old torque converter, oblong 1 hole on the magnum flexplate to match the offset hole on your old converter.
Or upgrade your converter.

Are my 318 motor mounts going to work the new 360

 

[Bb70charger500]

I believe they should I've not played with Magnum motors much.
I know on the la they are the same 340 are different
There's something with oil pans too the 360 has a different one I think

Spool mounts on 73 can and on Magnum.

There's been some talk of the bosses needing ground down a bit.

There's a custom designed car Magnum oil pan.

Those issues are addressed on magnumswaps.com

Was the Dakota an R/T?

Those are the only ones that got a 5.9

Durango could have had one, though.

360 LA pan works, had to use washers as spacers on back mount as spacer. Grind drivers side truck mount pad to clear headers.

I order my motor mounts and oil pan and the oil pick-up tube. Hard to believe that all my old stuff just bolts on to this newer motor. My wife thinks I'm crazy for believing the internet. Lol hope it all works out

 

[Stephen Hotz]

We have a 5.9 in the 67 Coronet. Still hooking stuff up but should have it running soon.

 

[Jonathan]

Ok 10 points to who can't tell me witch pick-up tube is the right one. I'll be able to verify when my oil Pan shows up on the 10th. The parts store said they had 3 different ones so I order them all and ill return the wrong ones
