big block dakota
Hello guys and gals. I have a 1998 dakota. It is an original a 4 cyl 5 speed truck. My dad bought the truck and he put a 360 into it. Now he has taken out the engine and transmission and given me the truck. I purchased a 440 for it and im looking to get some parts for the engine. Do any of you have any tips to build this truck right?
Thanks, Brendan

Moved to correct section. What are you building for? Drag racing? Daily driver? Mud bogging? Whats your budget? Is it 2wd or 4wd? What kind of transmission do you want? Information like this would help.
Parts for the engine can be found pretty much anywhere, google is your friend.

Its a 2wd. Single cab short bed sport. Its purpose is a mild street truck that can be used as a daily. The stock rear end has been taken out and a Durango posi unit has been installed, however with a bigger engine I'll need something with more meat on it. My budget is 9k and I would like to have a 727 reverse shift pattern manual valve body.

Is there any fabrication to the mounting locations and to the overall length of the rear end? I have found a website where i can buy a stroker kit for 3000 strokes the 528 however i dont want this engine to be too radical, just a cleaned up big block with mild cam work. I want to keep this truck within my price range
