wtf does it matter, both are underpowered trucks that run a 17 second 1/4 mile. they would both get raped by hondas and are slow as sh!t. i'm not tryin to flame anyone but if you wanted something fast that you could race, you should have bought a car. just use your truck for what it was made to do and stop thinking your in the fast and the furious or something

Look guys stop f***ing around and just face the facts all of you. If you want power and something that could tear up the road then you should have gotten a V8 Dakota, not some damn economical 4 banger or a V6 that you could tweak to only a ceratin point trust me. I had a V6 once now I have an R/T it makes sense to spend the extra cash on the purchase of a truck then playing around with some slow piece of sh!t (4banger).
Thats just my two cents.

hey stumpy; i'll race you...... in the MUD!! LOL j/k
i dont see what all the fighting is about, we all have dakotas! i'm not flaming onyone, just giving my opinion.
anyways... i know theres some 3.9L trucks that can haul A$$. not everyone needs/wants a v8. it just depends on what you want to do with your truck.
i have owned a 3.9L rc auto (modded a little bit), it was pretty fun to drive. but my 00 cc 4x4 4.7L auto (stock except dynomax super turbo) would run circles around it... especially in the takeoff! i have the same gears in my 00 as i had in the 98 (3:55 the 00 has lsd though)
my point is the v8 is faster stock for stock to the v6, it all depends on how much money you want to spend on modding!!!
it takes more skill to get power out of a v6, you have alot less cubes to work with (239 for the 3.9)

Though i own a v6 dak (thats quick, not fast, just quick), i gotta agree on the v8. You can only do so much to the v6. The heads are pretty much open up to the point where a port and polish is almost impossible with out taking to much out so that it has structural cracks, that, it does have the same bore and stroke as the 318, but how many companies make a forged aluminum piston and chromoly plasma cast rings (though eagle does make the ESP Rods that will take just a little milling and they'll fit on the v6 crankshaft), then you got the K&N air boxes, headers, custom exhaust (dual or single), larger throttle body, and maybe a cowl induction hood. With a v8, one you got your choice of a 318 or a 360, two, you can then choose to stroke one of those motors (its possible for both, but i would do the 360 for more cubes). You could even put in a 340, there you got the 4.00" bore (same as a 360 standard bore) and you got a shorter 3.38 stroke for faster acceleration. So, it all depends on your preference. But, yeah, i would go with a v8, and my pick would actully be a 340.

a 3.40 is a 4.04 bore loser, not a 4.0
3.31 stroke... vs a 3.58 in a 360
v6 heads are the same as the 5.2/5.9, plenty of room to port...
read up on your facts before you post

Excuse me, i was looking in the wrong area of my book, and i don't appreciate being called a loser. I know the magnum heads are the same as the 5.2/5.9, thing is, that chrysler opened the ports so much, that the only thing you can really do safely is gasket match and some polishing. Otherwise, your bound to cut into some thin spots. Here's your "Facts" you were talking about there himan, 318cid, stroke: 3.31, bore 3.91. The 340cid, stroke: 3.38 or a 3.31, bore: 4.04 or 4.00 (those numbers on the 340cid are from the 2002 Mopar Performance catalog, don't believe me then do the math...i have). The 360cid, stroke: 3.58, bore 4.00. SO with the 340 there, it depends. I have 66' 318 Polysphere (also know as the semi-hemi) engine, and with those engines, since they're older, they have thicker cylinder walls, so they can be bored up to 4.00 or over, though a sonic test would bring piece of mind. But the origianl 340 did have the same 318 stroke and the 4.04 bore. So excuse me for doing math.

Though i know the 360 does have more cudes than the 340, but you still cant beat a short stroke for better acceleratoin. Though, i know i know, the more cubes you have, the more horses and toque, you still have a slightly longer stroke with the 360, so off the line (providing the cars are equally the same, lets say 71 demons, one with a 340 4 speed and one with a 360 4 speed) the 340 will get a head faster, but the 360 will probably over take the 340 later on because of the more availiabe cubes. But my OPINION, i would take the 340, just for something to beable to drive on the street and still get some good power. If anything, despite your coment, good catch on my mistake, i apologize on the wrong information there.

Really? Cool, thats a new one on me. It could be done, but like the price shows, it's probably hell to make and plan out so it'll work without grenading the motor on the first few turns.

93daksport, just shut your mouth now, you are making yourself look like a moron.
I've ported several magnum heads, there is plenty of room for improvement. However just like any other head if you are not carefull on swipe of the grinder can go to far and ruin the casting.
"The 340cid, stroke: 3.38 or a 3.31, bore: 4.04 or 4.00 (those numbers on the 340cid are from the 2002 Mopar Performance catalog, don't believe me then do the math...i have). The 360cid, stroke: 3.58, bore 4.00. SO with the 340 there, it depends. "
It does not depend! The 340 is a 4.04 bore, 3.31 stroke and that is the bottom line. The 340 shares its crank with the 318, same size journals same size stroke. 3.31in 4.04 bore
The beauty of the 340 is that it has the largest bore of any mopar smallblock. That would not be true if it had a 4in bore that is a stock 36 bore size.
Apparently your math is just as bad as yor engine knowledge
"Though, i know i know, the more cubes you have, the more horses and toque"
That statement right there should disqualify you from ever speaking on this topic again. There are a huge amount of other factors that go into play on the power making ability of an engine. By your logic a stock 82 smog headed 318 will produce more power than my 12.5:1 solid cammed 225 /6???
good day sir

You people are so quick to critisize. I admit, 93DakSport is kinda run'n hi mouth, but did you really take the time to read what he said. From my opinion, he said 340cid...meaning three hundred and fourty cubic inches...not THE 340 cid engine chrysler came out with. I don't think he was talking just motors...i think he was still stuck in his "math" mode and was just running his mouth about cubic inches...not engines...but thats my opinion man.
That and your right there with a well built motor...but then again you have to think about that one too. I mean, a well built 318 might not exactly be a match for a 426 hemi...but otherwise you made your point man. I just race at a local track, i really don't port and polish and stuff like that alot, so i won't start saying whos right and whos wrong.
But i guess that saying is true "Those who know the least, know it the loudest".
But thats just my .02 cents....and besides, there is no replacement for cubic displacement...hear that one alot from the sprint drivers.
