1999 360 truck motor interchangeability...

[Pugly]

I did a search, but couldn't find the answer I was looking for.
I have got a 99 dodge truck with a 360 that was abandoned at my shop and I was wondering if it could be installed in my 66 Belvedere, replacing the 273 that is originally in it. It's got Fuel injection on it which I don't want to try and hook up.
Is there an aftermarket intake and distributor that will fit it?
Will the mounts hook up?
How about the bolt pattern on the trans? TC will probably be different with the weight.
Can I use the 66 engine accessories? Alt and PS pump?
And lastly, I don't think there is a provision for a fuel pump.
Any other issues that I may be missing?

Magnum motor

Yep, you can do it. You'll need a adapter for the cam nose to use a mechanical fuel pump, the timing chain cover from a LA motor, the front pulleys will be a small problem as the harmonic balancer is a little different. The torque converter is balanced differently so look for a flexplate from B&M for a magnum to neutral balance convertor. I think the crank register is different (68 and up) so you might be better off finding a later 904 and use that. You'll need a magnum style intake from Edelbrock (different bolt angles to the heads) and motor mounts for a 340-360 to bolt it in. I'm not sure if the oil pump drive has the slot for the distributer but that's easy to change. Drop in a Mopar performance distributer and fire that sucker up!! Good exhaust manifolds or headers are a good idea too.

I'd also be interested if the truck exhaust manifolds would fit. They are really nice and flow like headers.

They'll fit in an early A body so I imagine they'll fit in a B body.

Thanks for the replies. It will be awhile before I can do it. Got to finish another build I have got to finish first. I will get the engine out of the truck and clean it all up and start gathering parts. I will keep y'all up to date how it goes, I just didn't know if it was even feasible to do without major modifications. That 273 still runs well, but it just needs some more power. I was thinking of trying a intake and small 4 bbl as the 2 bbl is worn out, but then nothing fits after that. Linkage, air cleaner, etc...
