You can't use the stock Dakota parts with the factory a body pedals. At least I couldn't figure out a way to do it.

I'm sorry for the crappy pics but as you can see, the s10 master cylinder fits with room for the starter cable in between it and the inner fender.

I'm thinking the huggers I'm using are hedman but I'm not 100% sure.

Block huggers fit easily. As a matter of fact, my welding skills suck and I was able to fabricate the pipes all the way to the collectors using a cut off saw and pie cuts/welds. It doesn't look real good but it works.

I am running a 8.25 rear diff from a 1974 valiant. I reused the same driveshaft that I ran with my 833 4 speed. I just had to change the transmission yoke. The u joint was the same size if I remember correctly so it was an easy swop.

I did NOT have to modify the inner fender in any way.

Yes, it's a magnum engine with a stock magnum mini starter. The bell housing is stock Dakota with a v8 flywheel just in case I ever wanted to run factory fuel injection. I use shorty block hugger headers with no clearance problems. I can't remember the brand name but I had them jet hot coated...

I'm pretty sure I used the existing hole with a homemade bushing to make it smaller. The slave is from a dodge cummins truck but not sure of the year. However, I'm pretty sure the slave was for a nv4500 transmission.

I didn't have to clearance the inner fender at all.

I don't remember what year s10 I got it from.

I'll eventually run frame connectors too. I'm hoping to get this car to the track in the coming years. The s10 master cylinder is angled and works well with this setup.

Yes, I removed the top. I actually built the cross member using 2 cross members and welding them together and then modifying them accordingly. I didn't worry too much about the top of the cross member since the bottom is twice as strong as original.

In older Dakotas, the speedo was cable drive along with a sensor. You can connect the a body cable to the earlier sensor assembly fairly easily.

I forgot to get pics last evening will try to remember this evening.

My transmission was removed from a 1994 2wd v6 Dakota.

I can grab some pics this evening. My setup has the engine in the stock location with stock pedals. I made the shift handle from some motorcycle handlebars and an old motorcycle piston.

I have an ax15 in my dart, built everything myself. There is a lot of fab work involved including cutting a lot out of the floor. I used an s10 master cylinder along with the factory dodge pedals. I used the stock Dakota slave cylinder at first but it wouldn't release the clutch enough. I had...

Nice, keep us posted.

I like the 8 1/4 but if I was going to changeout, I'd either go with a Dana 60 or a Ford 9. I used to have a 8 3/4 and really didn't like the wheel bearing setup. I think there is an aftermarket kit to fix it now but back then it was horrid.

I've ran a 8 1/4 in my car for the last 15 or so years. It has held up to modded 360s just fine. I am now running the same rear diff. with a detroit locker and 3.25 gears and it's still holding strong. I have been told the 8 1/4 will handle 500 hp from the Dakota guys.
