As for the differences between the 500/518 case sizes, they're negligible. The overdrive section measures the same, and from that point forward you're talking the difference between a 904 and a 727. Both transmissions will require cutting the transmission cross member and welding a piece of fitted flat stock in its place. Make your decision based on the condition of the two, and intended use. Size matters not (obligatory Star Wars quote).

actually, there was a post here years ago for E and '71 up B's that put a 518 in them WITHOUT cutting the t-bar xmember, but by trimming some of the ribs on the OD case....dunno if anyone has the pics saved anymore...

A few of items to note:
1)The 92 5.2L was a return fuel system 40 psi with pump in the tank and a regulator on the fuel rail.93 up uses the returnless system with a bypass and pump in the tank.40 psi until 96.Switch the fuel rail to 93-95 type.
2)There is a very shallow Jeep tank that might bolt in.It has the pump and bypass in the tank.It will need to be modified slightly to fill it of course.
3)You can patch in the Magnum harness to the vehicle harness-8 wires
Leave the gun.......take the Cannoli's....Mike

A500/42RH uses the low gear 904 setup: 2.74/1.54/1/.69 OD
A518/46RH uses the standard 727 setup, 2.45/1.45/1/.69 OD
I'm running a 42RH in my 5th ave. mark is switching from a 42RH to a 46RH.

I am beginning the same type of swap on a 68 fury 4door (why?) although I am not using the whole harness. I am going to splice the original harness with the underhood one from the Dakota. I have a friend with some experience in this, but he says there are only 5 or so wires to splice on OBD1. As for fuel system, I have a '71 tank in the car already so it has some vapor return ports. The LS1 corvettes use a fuel filter with a built in regulator, it has in, out and return, so I plan on using an inline pump. I was able to score a deal on a 95 dak with a 5.2 but a blown trans, but my car has a good 727 so I am going to use it for now. Sorry for the long post, but I thought I was the last one trying to do a EFI magnum swap!
Update on this car. Here is some progress pics of the harness. It is pretty easy to strip this harness down to what is not needed. It will use the ASD and Fuel Pump relay.
The three loops of wire are fo 12v feed, 12v run/ign feed, and 12 out to fuel pump (from relay)
Still need to finish wrapping it back up, and tie up a couple loose ends.

Update on the Fury, engine out, trans notched, but I need a different converter. The one in the car had 11inch bolt spacing and I need one with 10 inch to fit inside the magnum flex plate. Should be bolted together in the next few weeks.

The harness should be installed by the end of this week (time allowing). Hopefully some pics will be taken. If you want to build your own harness PM me if you need some help or I have another one done for this swap if you want to purchase one. It will be nice to see how this first one goes. This should be a very nice driver, that anyone can drive and start without setting the choke. Looks good Ralph!
