I have been reading this site for a few months now and have enjoyed all the tips and tricks you guys have offered. I am the proud owner of a 1990 dakota 4wd with 252,000 miles. The truck is in great shape and has the original engine. Of course it is starting to get a little tired. I am planning on keeping this truck but I would like a little more power. This truck has TBI injection and is not a magnum. I have looked at the V-8 swap and possibly a V-6 magnum swap but both would appear to be an electrical nightmare even with a donor truck. I am wondering if I could get a magnum V-6 and still use my TBI with new V-8 injectors for more fuel delivery. I have found these injectors at a local NAPA and they do fit my throttle body.I know I would have to plug the mpi ports. Do you think that the magnum heads would give any more ponnies? Also I would like to bore my block and possibly deck the heads for a little more compression. I will ultra-sound the block for thickness to see how much I can bore. Again what do you guys think? I do have a set of headers that I purchased last fall and have gutted the cat but really didn't see any gains. Any help for this old pre-magnum girl would be greatly received. There seems to be ton of things for the magnums but not for these engines.
