Couldn't sleep and got to thinking. I have a '73 340 I'd like to put in a '70-'71 Dart, or '67-'69 Barracuda. I was thinking of doing the Magnum head swap with the Hughs/Edelbrock FI Airgap intake, and components from a 5.9 Magnum for fuel injection, including a custom programmed PCM. If i...

From everything I have been reading, it looks to be a fairly simple swap. I had PM'd another member about helping build a harness, and was in contact with a member on another message board about flashing a computer for my project. I'll see if I can pass that info along to you... j

Check the passenger side of the motor, just below the head, near the back of the side ( near the trans ) for a stamping of the motor size. I am ( someday ) putting in my 5.9 magnum ( FI ) into my 71 Demon, along with the 46RE OD trans. Should be quite fun :D j

Following up your PM, I didn't see this till now. Put me down for one for my '98 Dakota 5.2/2000 Dakota R/T 46RE going in my 71 Demon. It will probably take me a while to come up with the money. I just need to get the OK from SWMBO :) j

hmmm...if that's the case, I'll have to use the PS pump on my Dak ( 98 4X4 ) with the 5.9 ( 2K R/T ) and maybe adapt... j

I'll have to take a look-see at the Dak to see if it has R&P steering, or a gear box. Thanks for the heads up. j

Fishy is right. The motor provides vacuum for the booster. One question I did come up with tho, will I need to change my manual steering, or do I try to bypass the PS pump with a NON PS setup? j

Reading intently LOL Constant, and switched power, and ignition by chance? If I can get my better half to buy into my plan, I saw a 5.9 with harness on CL for $400 with a cracked block. I have seen where just the harness goes for over $200, so the extra accy's and other parts off the motor would...

Subscribed! I just piked up a 2000 Dakota R/T Motor, trans, and rear. Gonna put the motor and rear in my '98 Dakota 4X4, and take the 5.2 from the Dakota, mate it to the R/T tranny, and massage it into my '71 Demon Sizzler. I'll read though this thread later...I gotta get to bed soon. I'm...

Good info there. I'll get those mounts ordered next week. I will also look into the 98 Dakota 5.2 pressure. I'll probably run an external fuel pump to reduce complexity of the system, and allow the possibility of easier maintenance. I'll probably also order up the headers, and pick up the...

Here is what I have: 1998 Dodge Dakota 5.2 Magnum 2000 Dodge Dakota R/T OD transmission All the connectors to build a harness ( the next big step ) a 1971 Dodge Demon to put it all in :D I'm already looking at getting the short block gone through to make sure it lasts more than a...

OK, cool. Depending on the weather next week, I'll probably swap the front end off the Duster over to the Demon, and maybe even get the rear brakes rebuilt. I gotta pull off the bumpers and lights, pretty much everything that would have to be masked off when painting the car. Do the LA motor...

So, I brought home the motor, trans and rear end yesterday. About to go unload it and take some pix :) I got the two computers along with all the connectors for each sensor/controller/whathaveyou, that was removed from the R/T wire harness with about a 3-4" pigtail. I was told the plan was to...

Well, with the 5.9, I'm looking more for troque, as I'm gonna be using the Dakota to pull my Duster and Demon around on a trailer. First to the body shop, then when I can, to the track :) That is also why I will probably swap the rear into the Dak as well. As for the 5.2...I don't have a...

Yeah, I know...but I've been toying with the idea of an OD for a while now, and this just happened to fall in my lap. I'm torn because the floor pans are in such good shape, I don't want to cut them LOL! This is something that either the stock computer, or the MP would do, right? I'd like to...

So, I scored a 5.9 Magnum/Auto/9.25 rear from a 2K Dakota R/T. The 5.9 will fit nicely, in my 98 Dakota Sport 4X4. I MIGHT even put the 9.25 in the Dakota as well. So, I've seen where the Magnum motors have been dropped in our A-Bodies. I am giving serious consideration to taking the 5.2...

So, I found what seems like a sweet deal on a 5.2 Magnum motor from a Dakota or Durango, and am wondering if anyone has done a swap like this. I know the Hemi swap is all the rage, but the LA Style, Magnum small block I think would be a bit easier to do. I did a google search but came up with...

What is your experience with your purchases? Good, bad? What was the quality of the parts? How about this site?About a grand for a small block stroker rotating assy.? Thanks for your input. j

I am wondering where y'all get your small block stroker kits from. Is there a place like 440source that has small block stroker kits, and has good details/deals on them? I am thinking of stroking a small block just for kicks, and would like to find more information on the subject. j

The simple answer is, put the 360 I have in a Dakota. The Durango has the 360 in it already. I am also considering Magnum heads on a 318 I have for my '68 Dart. I'm wondering if using magnum heads will make 350 HP easier for a 318. These are some of the crazy ideas I have swirling around in...

I picked up a 360/727 when I got my parts form Dart Sport. How much will interchange between the magnum and non magnum motors? My questions come from picking up an '03 Durango, and am looking at a Dakota. Is there a source for interchangeability between the LA and Magnum motors? j

Would I need to do anything to the bottom end to prep for that kind of power from a 318? What kind of cam specs are we talking about? Would a MP 272 cam be about right for what I am trying to achieve? I'm looking for a good all around street motor. Power, reliability, and most of all, "just...

Anyone got a good recipe for a 3-350HP 318? I understand about having good free breathing heads, but what is a good streetable combination? I have a 318 in my garage I could build, and save my 340 for my future Demon :D j

'preciate it! j

I am looking for the bolts that hold the piece over the rear main cap. I tried using both a 7/16" socket which was too big, and a 3/8" socket that was too small. Is it a size in between, or a different fastener all together? Thanks j

Here are a couple pix...

I picked up a small block cast iron 4V Intake over the weekend. It has two holes, one with some sort of valve in it, i think on the shallow side. Is this the EGR system? If so, can it be effectively be blocked off for a non EGR application? I'll try and post a pic tomorrow. j

Well, I did a google search, but it looks like they are not in business at all any more :( Apparantly, their site hasn't been updated since '02, so it's not looking like I will be doing a Hemi conversion :( Anyway...I guess I'm leaning toward the Edelbrock heads for now. Thanks for the...

With all this discussion I have had regarding the heads I want to use for my stroker 400, what is the possibility of using the Hemi head conversion? Do the RB Hemi Heads fit the B? If so, do they take the same intake as a B engine or do I need a special intake for Hemi Heads? I think it would...

Hence the reason for the winkey ;) Talking to the guys at the shop around the corner, the first thing I said is I am looking for a good place to have some machine work done. Their reply was, and I quote "You better keep looking then, cause I suck!" :D I chatted with them for a while, and that...
