[kurt h]

some how in the last 3 months i acquired a 1989 and a 1993 d150s
love the trucks wife said keep 1 both have 318s with over 200 thousand miles
a friend swaped a 225 for a 360 wants to give me the motor ,it has 79000 miles
my question is is it hard to swap 318 to a 225? 225 out of a car

Yes in fact it would be rather difficult, I think. Don't know anyone that's done it, but there's a lot of differences.

Motor mounts, transmission, linkage and throttle cable, fuel line, heater hoses, radiator hoses, steering hoses. That's off the top of my head. Small blocks are cheap and plentiful, and the 318's are pretty damn solid.

i´m just collecting parts to go the other way, to swap the current 225 against a 318 (5.2 carbed Magnum). LocuMob has mentioned nearly all what´s needed, usually a lot of small things which will add up and cost money. But he just forgot one big part you would also need the slant six -trans (small block and slant transmission have different bellhousings)
