An '85 Dodge pickup with a 318 engine bogging down at high speeds could be caused by several factors. A clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump may restrict fuel flow, leading to engine starvation. Additionally, issues with the ignition system, such as worn spark plugs or a malfunctioning ignition coil, could result in misfires under load. Lastly, vacuum leaks or a malfunctioning air intake system might disrupt the air-fuel mixture, causing the engine to struggle at higher speeds.

Can you replace dodge v8 gas motor with a dodge v10 in a dodge 1500 pickup?

Anything is possible, but in order to do this you will need the V10 engine, the wiring harness for that engine, an ECM that is compatible with that engine, and the engine mounts for that engine. All this can be found in a 94-02 dodge ram 2500 that has a V10. Your main concern will be getting your transmission and rear differential to handle the extra power. I'm assuming you have an automatic as they are most common. Dodge has weak auto trannys so your best bet would be to find a wrecked dodge 2500 V10 with a manual transmission and swap over the entire drivetrain. It may be more expensive but i will save you many headaches. Good luck if you decide to do it.
