360 here!

There is no replacement for displacement. The 318 isn't a bad motor either but these trucks need torque to get them moving. They aren't light A bodies that's for sure!

360 here too! And I love it! Although my Guitarist has a stock 318 and his will keep up with mine all the way. But his is a reg cab, mines a club cab. Same year models.

yeah...my stock 360 will put the hurt on a GT Mustang. Talk about your slutstang ego mutilator :)

I guess the only thing that would hurt them more than a stock full size pickup whoopin their ass would be if...a Geo whooped their ass. LOL, I'd pay to see that.

2 x the 360's here

360 in my '84 3/4 ton 4x4 mud truck, and 360 in the '01 qc/sb 4x4 haulin the 84 to the mud drags. love em both, with the exception of a few tranny issues (some funky sensor 2 shops haven't figured out yet) with the 01, never had a problem with either!!! 2 'ol boys sittin around lookin at their fords and chevys said 'we need a truck with More Power, and bein from the south this was said with a drawl, and there was born the MOPAR

I'm glad I have a 360 in my rig, but i'm pissed that dodge didn't offer the 5speed behind it. Does anyone know why they didn't? It's alot easier to change the 318 for a 360 rather than changing your auto 360 into a manual. That would be the only reason i'd want a 318 5speed, no disrespect to you 318 guys but the 360 does have around an extra 100ft lbs of torque, and I want a manual so bad its a big money issue though. But a guy can still dream, can't he?

The pre T-300 trucks 1992, 1/2 Ton Rams on down, used the N.P.435 which is what I have in mine. Being designed in the early fifties, overdrive wasnt a necessity for fuel economy as today. The NV4500 is a five speed but only available in Rams from 1993 up I believe. Sure would love to have a NV4500 in my 1/2 ton 1990 PowerRam! Both the NP435 and the NVG4500 are almost bulletproof but that I think the "tunnels" are different between the two. The newer Dodges have a HUGE tranny tunnel

The NV3500 wasn't up to the task of holding the power of a 360, or at least so Dodge claimed. The NV4500 was too 'heavy-duty' for the 1/2 ton, again, according to Dodge. Plenty of people tried getting Dodge to offer them, to no avail.

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:
