I'm Paul. I recently acquired a '99 R/T Extra-Cab after my trusty lil '04 4.7 was destroyed in a collision. That lil sonofagun gave its life for me, so I reciprocated by finding one of its older sisters to replace it. Purchased in Clifton NC with 128k on the clock for $4400; so far after new tires, brakes, exhaust (Delta50, bay-bee), tune-up, oil-change, 4 new speakers (original head-unit!), a headliner, & misc. I'm sure I'm forgetting, total cost involved is WELL under 6k. Oddly, the differential had been professionally rebuilt about a month prior. So-
I've been driving it now long enough to know it'll never make mpg like the 4.7 did.... BUT. It's been getting 14+mpg in town, over 17 on the highway (with 3:92's!), and it's happy as a peeg in poop on REGULAR GAS.
And it runs like a new truck. I've owned a few 318's in my day, but this 360 really IS a different animal. What a happy lil motor! <3
