Welcome from Central KY! When I was a SR in HS, my 10 plan was a 9 second Gen II Barracuda. I've never had a hot rod for more than six months at a stretch, and never a running Barracuda. Life will most certainly interfere with your plans. My suggestion would be to get her running, even though...

Oh, yes, we'll be there as a vendor. Not sure on the spot though.

We're FINALLY gathering parts & pieces to put the stupid '76 Charger on the road this year. 400-4, PDL, PS, A/C, cruise/tilt/console/PW... Looking for: Decklid 9 1/4 Sure Grip Turn signal canceling cam (Saginaw column-cruise/tilt/console takes a special cam...lucky us!) Fuel tank Driver's...

And who is Jim Clark

Thanks for the responses. We'll be up to Indy for their show. Noone that I know has gotten anything from Rock Auto. I tried looking up a part for a Dakota...but couldn't find it on Rock Auto. And I couldn't find anyone to talk to...

Howdy Y'all. I'm FINALLY getting our stupid '76 Charger Daytona road worthy. Right now we're looking for a fuel tank since this one is rusted through. We also need a couple of rotors and a turn signal canceling cam :) She's got a 400-4, cruise, tilt, console. The tilt, cruise, and console...

I've been negligent, here's what we're working with...we DIDN'T have to pay extra for the rust:rofl:

Here's the sticker. She does have the 45RFE. So, if we keep that trans, the 5.7 will work better with the controller that's in the truck now? If we want to do a 5.9 swap, we need to find a trans that was behind a 5.9, and a wiring harness that was with a 5.9, correct? Will a trans from a...

Is getting a 5.9 in the output that we're looking for, and to play nice with the existing accessories, going to be cheaper/easier than dropping in a 5.7 and making that work? I know the 5.9 was available in both a Dakota and Durango of this generation. My thought was to basically do a 5.9 swap...

My thought was to get the OD trans rebuilt to handle like 450HP/450TQ, and get a converter/flex plate that matches up. We also have a beater '04 Dakota QuadCab 2WD V-6 for parts. I was "told" that I could use the accessory mounts from the V-6 to make everything play nice with the 5.9. Does...

Here's what we want to accomplish: 12.8 ET 17+ MPG All accessories to work: AC/cruise/OD/etc Reliable enough for 800+ mile trips Here's what we have to work with: '02 Dakota QuadCab 2WD She's got a 4.7 and the upgraded auto transmission I can post the window sticker. She's basically...

Sorry, she's a '02. Thanks all. How many of the accessories (PS/AC/Cruise, etc) will bolt up, or do I need to find these parts for a 5.9?

Hi all. Will the OE auto that's behind a 4.7 2WD Dakota bolt up to any SBM or V-6 mopar? Want to replace the 4.7 with a 360 or 5.9 Magnum. Thanks for passing thru :thumbsup:
