 Subject: 91 dakota engine swap
IP: Logged
Message:
I want to put a crate engine in my 91 dakota and I need some advice. I plan to put in the 380 horse mopar crate engine in my 91 dakota and I was wondering what type of headers I should go with. Mopar recomends a 1 7/8" header for the engine, do you know where I can get some? I would like to use holley tbi to fuel it, good Idea or bad idea? Has anyone else done this? Any advice appreciated.

I want to thank you guys for the information on the headers. As far as the engine mount problem, I don't know what the difference is. engine-swaps.com may have something that could help.

I believe the part number for the headers is P5249532. I ordered the headers from KRC performance, and they treated me real well, I would recommend dealing with them. I havent got any pictures of the headers installed yet because I havent got the engine in yet. Right now I am waiting on some information on a transmission for my 91d dak. I thought that I had a 518 automatic, but it turns out that I have a 500a, and it won't take the power. So I am either going to buy a 518 or a 618 to put in it. A local trans shop that I trust said that it would bolt right in. As soon as I complete the project I can send you some pictures if you want. I did set my engin in a couple of times to see how things were going to line up, and at that time I tried the upper part of the headers and they seemed to fit real good. So far it looks like these doug thorely headers are going to be good.

the headers are full lenght. I forgot to mention that the headers that i got were for 92-93 year modle. If you want to hook up emisions you have to modify them.

they are a multy piece header. there are full length uppers with a three piece lower y-pipe. Every part of the headers is coated in a high nickle content chrome. The protective layer is not for show though. The nickle/chrome coating is made to bake on and protect the headers.
