91 d150 engine question?

I saved a 91 shortbed from going to scrapyard, everything but an engine. transmission and underhood complete. What year engine can I use with this harness and computer. I think it was a 318 and froze this winter so it was running not long ago. Thanks.

for plug and play another 91 d-150 318 from the JY

any of the tbi roller cam 318 enegines should work.

I pick up 88-91 TBI-318 roller cam engines to trans plant into older trucks.

right now I have a 91 318 with a hughes whiplash roller cam/93-NV4500 5 speed in my 85 stepside. awsome little 318. but no worky with a 91-TBI/PCM

I did just pick up a 800$ 88-d150 with a older engine swped into it..the PCM/wireing was removed and they splide in a VR along with a ECU/elect dist.

so that is an option if you want/have too go that way.

it is not that hard to splice/by-pass into the intank fuel pump to run a regulator with a return line at the carb.

then splice the VR plug/VR into the harness and mount it on firewall. then wire in the mopar eletc ECU/dist.

do you have all of the brackets/alt/ps pump/pullys to go on it?

Most all the parts were left connected or in the bed, but I really won't find out what's missing until another engine goes in.

Does the transmission need to keep the computer?

depends on the trans..I am not sure.

If its a auto with OD then yes, but if its a 3spd auto then no.

There are also work arounds that will allow you to manually switch the OD on. I believe in the tech section off the moparts main page there is a couple of old examples of how to wire an OD up without the electronics (or at least without the full harness swap).
