welcome

what kind of paint scheme are you going with?

 

[thumper1382]

well im gunna put a new sytem of course i had 2 audiobahn 12s but i blew my amp... and eveuntally i wanna put wither a 360 or a 5.7L hemi but i dont even think a hemi would fit but thats what i really want and i think im gunna stick with the factory white color or maybe do a blue and white paint scheme i been working on... im really not sure i havent decided and i have pics of it in its current state in my album but right now there is a dent in the pasenger side fender and it doesnt have a front bumper.. lol but i learned not 2 drink and drive...

 

[SH0K0TA]

i've seen threads where ppl have swapped the 5.7L hemi in they're 3rd gen. the main problem i believe is wiring, engine mounts, and the oil pan? i believe. it had to be shortened or something like that.

i know for sure its over on dakota-durango tho.

 

[thumper1382]

yeah i bet its a pain in the ass...

 

[DRAGN94]

any swap outside the ordinary is usually a pain. but can be done. i have seen a couple 3rd gen dakotas with either 440 big blocks or viper v-10's swaped under the hood

just takes more thought that what make a custom stand apart from the rest

 

[thumper1382]

true thats what customiztion is all about doing something that has never been done b4 i would love to put a srt 10 motor in mine but i sont see it ever happening...
