1988 Dodge Dakota Mopar Express

going to pull this out of the grave again, the truck was all set and ready for the 2011 Nat's and the Thursday night the week before Nats week it ate a cam, which we swapped a new one in within a 36 hour window to get it running that Thursday morning, which it ate the new cam during break in (long story short, don't buy purple shafts), anyways after that nats I tore the engine down and inspected everything and installed a Comp with a 68 340 4spd grind cam and reassembled the engine and ran it on our test stand, which it ran beautifully and installed it.

I was finally able to drive it, my senior year of high school!All the kids thought it was badass, and it was. The fastest thing in the parking lot for sure. Anyways, a week or two of driving it and my carb took a dump (i think it shot out the bowl seals) and we swapped another one on, it didn't run too bad but not great as it was a hard starter. So I purchased a 650 double pumper off of a member here and added parts that were missing/broken off of other carbs to make it work and it ran fine but with some fuel leaks. I had my friend's dad rebuild the second carb (a 750 holley) and now it runs beautifully and will be at the Nats this year
