What about the motor mounts? 318's up to 91 have a completely different mounting system than the V6 and 92 and up V8.They also have no provisions on the block to mount the Dakota style mount.Also it takes a Dakota oil pan and pickup,The 73 truck sump will hit your engine crossmember.Whats your definition of "not much hassle"?
