Default should i/ is it possible....

i have a 440 motor sitting in the garage actually 2 anyways, in my dakota right now theres a 3.9 lt mag. is it even possible to put that big block into my pickup. I imagine it would need some custum modification the motor mounts should at least match up.. tell me what you think. or does a 17 year old even needs a 440 in a lil sport pick up? Small block v6 to a big block v8 racing motor hmmmm. sounds good to me.

ya, I dont think you need the 440. you should probly sell one to me and frenchy. then we can tell you how hard it is to swap in.


but ya, that would be a good swap...... only if you know what your doing. if you dont. I wouldnt even try it. plus you'll have to beef up the frame abit to handle the 440. 318/360 is a more practical swap

Theres motor mounts sold to do it from mancini racing, shouldnt be too hard if they sell mounts for it.

Any motor can go into anything it just a matter of how much work and money you put into it.
