 Subject: v8 swap questions
IP: Logged
Message:
I'm planning on putting a 383/727 combo into my 89', and have a few questions. Do the 87-90 dakotas have a speedometer cable? Also, do they use vacuum to control the transmissions and not electric shift? Would I be able to get away with keeping the in-tank fuel pump, due to it's low operating PSI, or would I have to install a pressure regulator inline? The main deal is keeping all gauges and electrical performing as they did before the swap.
Also, on a side note, does anyone have some 89' Daytona seats they'd be willing to part with, preferably blue? I'm also looking for an 89' dakota single cab center console.

sounds like one mean Dak when your done mike
i dont know how much pressure that puts out but if its like the 94's (something like 40 psi)
and your going carb. i;d think its going to push past the needle/seat
just curious but have you thought of omitting the intank, run a holley or something right on the inside of frame rail?
their standard runs at 5 - 7 psi
(last i knew) which is just about right
next step has an external regualtor
you cant set yourself

yes on the cable
the trans uses hyd.pressure in the trans to shift and the kick down leakage,only electric is the o/d,no problem here
theres a fuel line on the tank that has a plastic cap on it that is use to drain the fuel from tank,[its on top by other lines]it goes to the bottom of tank,connect your existing fuel line to this and go with a manual pump on the motor[less cost,no pressure problem]if you want to stay with the pump in the tank you,ll need a regulator because these have about 14lbs pressure you only want 5-7lbs with a carb
hope this answers your questions

pumps
carb 7psi
throttle body 15psi
multi port 45 psi
The trans is computer controled and will not even
bolt to the 383 B block unless you get an adapter
from engineswaps.com
The throttle valve on the trans is cable and can
be adapted to the 727
Why not use a 518 and do a conversion
redrider.us has all the parts to do this but you
will still ned the adapter to bolt up the B block
Find a rear with 3.21 and run the 727
Talk with intencedak39 he put a 400 in his dak

Thanks for all the info guys. I'm thinkin the 727 is the way to go. the 518 doesn't have the aftermarket support. I'm not looking to have it be a highway vehicle, I just am interested in tire lubrication.
