You tellin' me the 360 came stock with 400 lb-ft of torque?? :huh: You are dreaming. The 360 came with 15 more hp and only 45 more lb-ft. Yeah, it'll tow soooo much more than the 318 and there's no way a NV3500 can handle that much roaring power. :WHT:
Looks like I was wrong, the 360 came w/245hp and 330 lb-ft tq.
the 318 came w/230hp and 300 lb-ft tq.
Hey, you ever screw up? I did!
But I was told that the 318 only had 230-240 lb-ft tq, guess they screwed up too! I wouldv'e never known, but now I have the internet so I can be smart and know everything(well, almost)!!!!
But I read an article about a guy who switched out his 318(backed by a NV3500) to a 380(380hp) crate motor w/no problems, so I think the NV3500 should handle the 30lb-ft, and 15hp w/no problems.
I was going to buy a 86 dodge w/a 318 auto but the guy sold it the day before I got the $$, so I bought a 86 chevy instead and I dont even drive it, but I will someday when the dodge geos back to the body shop!
Well, not a ton. But I need to replace the rollpan and front grille(the little plastic clips on each side broke so its looking pretty ragged) , the shaved door handles are starting to rust where the weld is(poor prep), and its been keyed twice by two different girls( once on the pass side and once ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TRUCK)!!!! So I guess yah it does need some work, I've got a fiberglass cowl sitting down the body shop for three yrs now, so
I guess its time to put that on too!!! I'm waiting till begining of spring, and if this shop is too busy i'll be looking for another, I'm sick and tired of this guy telling me he's to busy for custom stuff(hence the fact the hood has been down there for 3 yrs)!! I didn't get that 86 dodge but this is mylist for the 97. I shouldv'e read more carefully, that 86 dodge didn't need any body work.

Man, you got a "way" with the chicks! Hah! All the way around ouch Beeotch! You know the ol sayin,"I spent all my money on cars,trucks,chicks and booze" The rest I WASTED! :rck:
I hear that brother, talk about taking the breakin up hard, I also ended up w/2 brand new flat tires, but I couldn't prove it. One of these days i'll see her car sitting all by itself and then, welli'm not into incriminating myself but you get the picture. Well i'm off to get some more tattoos (man I think about what my truck could look like if I wasn't addicted to ink), got an appointment at 6:00 to go and spend some of that bodyshop $$$LOL. We'll be talking to you soon, have a good night.
a 318 here just baught it a short while ago almost on the road next week i can't wait to take it out to the country, also i've been looking all over and i can't find it but do anyone of you have and are willing to sell or know of one being sold a (2nd gen ram 4x4 with either a 318 or 360 and a long bed) every one i find is a puny short bed, thats a sad excuse for a pickup you can't put anything back there. does anyone know of anything like that body rust and stuff isn't a big deal im a collision guy as long as its not totaled please help!
I had a 318 in a 93 Dakota clubcab that had 228000 miles on it before some semi totaled it for me. Just started to burn oil. God,I loved that truck! Now I have a 76 D200 with a 360. As heavy as this truck is I know that I have the power to go when I need to.
Mine is stock and it shifts at about 5100. The butt dyno says it pulls pretty well all the way past the rev limiter... I have forgotten to take it out of L1 when leaving my parents lake house in a trailer park and went out on the 55PMPH road...I usually put it in L1 so the old grannies and gramps don't yell at me for goin too fast.
