This is a joke, right? What would you need to change? Transmission, frame mounts, motor mounts, accessory brackets, exhaust system, fuel lines, throttle linkage, ... should I go on? NOTHING is common between the two motors. Can this swap be done? Sure, but it will be a completely hand-fabricated custom installation. If you want more power, get a Mopar 360. These motors are plentiful and bolt in place of the 318.
