Well, found a newer magnum 360 to install, will be taking a trip this weekend to get it---that'll wake the old ram up. I'll be needing a carb intake and the specially weighted flexplate for it. Its really what i wanted from the beginning so i guess its a good thing, even though the timing is off moneywise. Off course updates to follow......

Ok, im curious of opinions here---im getting that 360 magnum motor this weekend, been thinking about the front of it. Should i put on all the premagnum stuff and make it so i can use the mechanical fuel pump, or should i leave the serp belt setup on it and run an electric pump? I kinda like the idea of the serp setup, but im not sure how much of a pain its going to be to make things fit or convert them.

Yea, the more im thinking about it, the more i think im going to try and get the serp belt setup to work. I guess, i'll just run an electric pump, i'll have to dig up one of my holley blues i guess. The next biggest hurdle for me is figuring how to wire up the late model alternator.

I am a big believer in electrics also, however im trying to keep myself falling into the trap i was in before and making my street car a race car due to the "if some is good, more is better" theory. I have to think sensibly about this whole project or the wife is going to kill me. Im still and will be paying off the last project for a long long time. Now, back to the trucks. So here is the plan, drop in this 94 magnum motor, add a carbed intake (not sure if an air gap or regular dual plane -- i want tourqe/mid range power), see if i can get the serp belt stuff to work, and wire the alternator up. Then i should have a very smooth running, good power engine to tote around in. Then get all the stick shift parts in and have some real fun.
