I say eff the LS swap and do the Turbo slant 6 idea. I am sure you could get an adapter for the Nv3500 to mate to the slant 6.

IIRC the 361 was a smaller displacement version of the 383/400/440 Mopar big block. Mainly for truck use, similar to the 366 Chevy truck" baby big block".I used to have a 66 D100 that had a 361 (any mopar guys please elaborate), I converted it to 4x4 and had a 3 on the tree. Last I heard its still on the road, dont know why because it was absolute S*** , fun project though. Cant wait to see more of this!
Are you in the College Station area? How much are they running for now? Are you looking for a 5.3? Aren't the 4.8s supposed to be pretty popular for turbo (and often even less cost)?
One of my buddies had a busted LH8 in a H3 hummer, bought a reman Jasper with 15k on a rebuild and it was something like 3k. These Gen IV's are getting like the price of our 400's, CRAZY!I'm north of Austin. The local JY wants 2k for a Gen IV 5.3 with 150k miles. That's already pulled, but still. I found some on market place in the $800-$1000 area, but unknown condition.
4.8, 5.3, It doesn't really matter to me because I'm not going to try and wring every last bit of power out of it. It's more for the fun factor than anything else.
