I have a 1978 ramcharger 4x4 with a 360 engine. will an oil pan from a 318 fit, or do I have to use one from a 360. What's the difference?

318 and 360 won't interchange because of the pan end opening.

But that 318 pan will bolt up to a hemi! I saw them do it on Vanishing Point!

I believe a Mag motor pan, either 5.2 or 5.9, will work.

if you use a magnum engine pan...make sure you use a magnum pan gasket...

LA 360 pan is different then LA 340/318 pan in the rear pan seal..

the Magnum 5.2 and 5.9 are the same as LA 360 in the rear pan seal..just use the right gasket.
