    I am wanting a motor for my 1985 Dodge W150. Im concerned that the distributor cap may be too large and hit the fire wall. If I buy I just want to make dang sure it will fit in my pickup. The pickup is stock right now. What will I need to complete the swap? I would like to keep it as stock as possible.
