I have been trying to fix up my Ramcharger. It appears that the 318ci engine has been replaced with a 354ci engine. I can't find any information about the 354. Where can I get information on this engine.

I spoke with a neighbor that works for the city garage. there is a label on the engine that says 354. He verified that it wasn't the original engine and said that he thought it was a 354.

They don't create engines retroactively. A 318 is a 318 and always will be. I suppose you could bore out a 318 and end up with something like that but I'm not aware of anything marketed as a replacement.

Someone pulled the 318 out of the truck and put another engine in. The only marking on the engine indicates that it is a 354. I don't know as much about Mopar as I do GM of Ford. I can't find much about a 354 other than that it was an early hemi and a 6 cylinder diesel. I am just looking for more information on the engine.
