I was told my 1994 3.9 v6 dodge 4x4 tranny will bolt up to the 318 but they say the torque converter may have to be used from the 318 ?. Is this true ?.. All the tranny rebuilders say not eh wreckers says yes Thanx for any advice and tips
It'll bolt up, both are zero balanced. The stall speed of the converter is probably different but I doubt you'll notice the difference if any.
The 3.9 is a "cut down" 318 / 5.2 block, so ask them why wouldn't it fit and see what they say. Ought to be good for some laughs.

I called the tranny shop and they said it was a miss understanding.. the magnum 3.9 is the same the old one wasn't and tried saying I didn't specify the right info LOL I told em 94 Dakota...they only cameMagnum v6/v8 odd
360. and then they said said.. "oh.. I meant the old 3.9 is different.. " LOL Then he had the balls to say the plugs are all different and after about 2 min more he said I haven't got time to argue.. LMFAO ! The guy getting this tranny is 70 years old truck has 508,000kms on it and he don't go overSounds like a typical "parts changer" shop.
And my thanks to you for helping the gentleman out with his repairs.

I'll surprise you a bit more-
The V-10 is a "small block" engine. Essentially, the basic block design and many internals are small block influenced.

Don't worry about it. Chrysler has always done things a bit differently.
