how hard is it to swap a v-6 out of a 95 dodge ram and install a crate v-8 (318 or 360) same year? The truck is a 2 wheel drive automatic.Will I need to modify the wiring harness,mounts etc. I think it is a drop in but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

it is not real difficult but i would not attempt it. since the computer is firing 6 cylinders and you want 8, it will need to be changed and then you will have to buy new components such as power steering pump, ac, etc. yes you will have to change mounts.
