A 318 fits like its a factory install. No issues whatsoever. When upgrading in power, consider changing differential ratio to 4.89's, add power steering and power disk brakes. The 318 in the picture is driving a NP-435 transmission to a divorced NP-200 T case in its stock position.
If your going to repower, consider a Cummins Diesel 4Bt or 4BTA with a 5 speed OD transmission. All my Dodges are being swaped to Cummins. The 318 in the picture is the next diesel swap scheduled for late summer/fall.
