1989 "Sleeper"
Well lets start by saying some stuff about my self. Im 16 make money by doing repair to stuff. In high school and Auto Body vocational , from Angola, IN.
I have a 1989 Dakota 2wd 3.9L Auto
This is going to be my build thread it will be long and drawn out because money reasons. I want to build a 408 stroker to put in it or maybe a 360 with a turbo. I also want to put a 5 speed in it. I want it to be fast as hell but be a total sleeper on the out side.
I also need to fix the small amount of rust on the outside and a couple body mounts.
im going to start working on the body this summer coming up as well as find a 360 to rebuild and install the next spring and summer as well as the 5 speed.
It should be ready to go to collage after that. I want to go to UNOH in Lima, Ohio and take their high performance program. I already have a full scholarship for it and im only a junior.
So anyone with any advise?

Heres a friendly advice if your going the sleeper way, do not put money on the outside let the truck rust and look trashy. Most people will think its junk and when you "supposedly" drive beside them at highspeed they will be shocked when the dakota takes them. Been working for me, agianst little ricers, but not the rig rockets.
