I have a 95 Dodge Dakota with a 318 magnum and a 5-spd. Since its my only rig, it has to double as my daily and weekend wheeler. After realizing buying another used vehicle would be a gamble (also there's no way in hell I can afford full coverage on a new rig), I figure I'm better off fixing the truck I have. Current problems: 3.21 axle gears 27 spline 8.25" rear and 7.25" IFS Hotspots on flywheel Input shaft bearing needs replaced Plenum gasket compromised, burning oil with the fuel and causing spark knock Fixing the transmission seems pretty straight forward as there are only OEM replacement parts but what about the rest of it? Do I buy a bare 360 block and build it for low-end? Do I use the 318 block I have? If I'm going to swap to an aftermarket intake manifold to eliminate the plenum issue, won't I have to replace piston rings? I can't keep it like it is and I can't get a different vehicle. But with the amount of work and money I would have to put into it in order to get it where I want it to be, there's no way I can come out of this on top financially. tldr; what do, /o?

>>18208 Gaskets are a simple fix even if you have to make yourself a gasket with RTV gasket maker if they no longer (or ever) had a replacement. Something that makes it a lot easier is having a tube squeezer since you can better control the application. >won't I have to replace piston rings? Why would you have to replace piston rings by adding a new intake manifold? If you were changing the head to one that provides higher compression or adding a super/turbo charger I could see the point in asking this, but otherwise it seems like a non-sequitur. Also why do you need to replace the engine? So far you've only listed transmission problems and a bad intake gasket, even if you had bad piston rings (which is the possible implication I'm getting from you saying you'd need to replace them for a manifold) that still shouldn't mean the engine needs replacing. Now if you just want 25+ HP and dogshit gas mileage in exchange the 360 will certainly give you that.
