Truck SB mtr mts. 4wd 4sp SB bell. I'm assuming /6 & SB flywheels are different. I'm not a truck guy so this is more of a BTT for ya. You sure you dont want to put a 360 in there? I wouldn't think the 318 would be any gain

SB engine brackets..use stock rubber biscut mounts.
SB bell/flywheel..use same clutch disc/throwout bearing.
SB truck manifolds or SB 4x4 headers.
SB rear sump oil pan/pick up tube.
SB power steering pump and brackets
SB alt brackets..use stock alt.
SB engine pullys/belts
SB dist
SB upper/lower rad hoses/V-8 rad shroud..use stock rad
SB intake throttle bracket.. use stock throttle cable

the /6 wire harness needs trimed and re-routed for V-8 hook up, very simple and ez to do.

318/360 use different oil pans so you need the right one for engine size you pick.

Watch putting the 360 in. The flywheel alone is a lot more expensive than the 318 one. (360 is externally balanced) I have everything you need if you want to do a 360. Bell I have is for a granny gear trans from a 3/4 ton pu. I'm getting ready to part out a 91 that rust has ruined.
