You'll need the LA318 mechanical bell and corresponding flywheel. The radiator in the Slant 6 equipped trucks would be a bit weak for a 318 too. I'd look for the proper radiator and 7psi cap. You'll need the correct brackets that bolt onto the engine. The insulators from your Slant 6 can be used on the LA 318. For clutch pressure plate, throw out bearing and pilot bushing, go to www.sweptlineparts.com and Bud Thorp can set you up.
