there were so  many of these things made they still falling like leaves from the trees....you can go online any given time and find dozens of these for sale from parts cars, projects, drivers, modified, so called restored...just about anything for any price range....they are not anywhere near rare or endangered.   

 

Exactly.

Im doing a 318/904 and 8 1/4 swap on my 41 Plymouth.

I Think your 48 is bigger in the engine compartment, both wider and longer.

The biggest issue is the steering box/tube, its a tight fit!

I built a new firewall and my own exhaust manifold on the drivers side, the 904 trans is kinda small so the floor is stock.

Also used the old trans mount to make my new motormounts.

Durango small block cast iron manifolds, before the 4.7 and the new hemi. Makes the swap a snap. No, I don't know the exact year..... do the research I'm sure it will pop up somewhere. Drivers side.

passenger side

Small block years for durango as per wiki.....1997-2003

318 1997-2000

360  1997-2003
