Are all 318's the same!

Asked by 1999Dodge_dude Feb 24, 2020 at 09:02 PM about the 1999 Dodge RAM 1500 Laramie SLT LB RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 318 out of a 1971 Dart Swinger. I want to
rebuild it to put it in a 1999 Dodge Ram. Problem
is, the Ram is fuel injected and I want to keep that
part. How much of the old 318 can be used in the
newer 318?

They make kits to add EFI to older engines, I'd go that route. You may want to rebuild the heads with hardened seats for modern gas, in 71 they were still using leaded gas.
