Newb here - '96 Ram pickup?

Hi! I have been lurking around here for a while, and have a questions about a truck combination. Looking at a '96 or '97 Dodge Ram pickup and it seems that this would be a not-too-hard combination to race with. I'm not looking to be a record holder or anything, and not looking for it to be a dime rocket (maybe a quarter?), but is it possible to be competitive without breaking the bank? Is the 318 or the 360 a better motor? Also, those trucks came with manual transmissions, so I could run a Jerico right?

Thanks before hand. This is the best site for sportsman racers!!
