What is needed to change from a slant 6 to a dodge 360?

Ok I can't find another slant 6 to put into the 1982 dodge stepside that was given to me, so I have found a 360 with transmission to put in it. I know it is possible but am wondering just how involved it is. I know the motor mounts and the driveshaft, but what else?What is needed to change from a slant 6 to a dodge 360?
a lot of mopars have k-members for engine and suspension support up front, go to a salvage yard and ask if they have your vehicle style that came out with a v-8. tell them what you are trying to do and they can remove any needed parts that you may need to do the change. more than likely you will need to change the torsion bars too so the suspension will handle the additional weight of the v-8. www.summitracing.com also has a e-mail technical question support which will usually respond within a 24 hour period. good luckWhat is needed to change from a slant 6 to a dodge 360?
Gasoline going over $8.00 A GALLON THIS SUMMER, you had better put a Briggs and Straton in it. A one cylinder,I got that off the news.What is needed to change from a slant 6 to a dodge 360?
Should just be the motor mounts, trans mounts maybe.... you will have to change the exhaust around, thats no big deal.... you might need to change the radiator if it is a small one.... you might have cooling problems.What is needed to change from a slant 6 to a dodge 360?
