Has anyone ever put a crate engine or any other small block or big block dodge in a pre-magnum
Dakota? If so what were the problems you faced and how did you overcome them? I am planning on putting a 402ci stroker crate engine from Mopar into my 88 dakota reg cab shortbox. It's got a 3.9 V6 auto with a K&N Air filter, Edelbrock headers and dual 2 1/4in exhaust to a single Flowmaster 50 series muffler with a single 3 inch pipe after that dumps in front of the pass. rear tire. Rear end mods include 3.55 gears and an Auborn Posi. This truck is good for low 17 sec E/Ts at 85 mph.
With the 402 I hope for low 12s at 110 mph.
If anyones put a high performance small or big block into these trucks then please let me no on you experience with the transplant.
Thanks
