I spray off my motor quite a few times a year because of the excess of mud I regularly coat it with. Ive always used a pressure washer with soap/engine spray and never had an issue. I wouldnt worry about it.
Thanks man, thats all i needed to know because i didnt want to find out it would deteriorate any parts if it did get in the engine

the biggest engine able to be put in a dakota is a 454 but onlyin the dakotas in which the front was made lnger to adjust for the v8s apparently they bolt right up with the purchase of a 200 doller kit.. no cutting or anything...
Well i didnt know about the biggest size engine but you can actually fit a 318 or 360 into a 87-90 Dakota though you need to put an electriuc pusher fan in for the radiater though i already knew that but i was askin and lookin for an anser on the gas milage of the specified engine and tranny i posted up
Even though i allready posted this question but for the people with 360s How much gas milage would you think i could get with an LA 360 paired to a 4speed auto and running my 2.94 axl ratio in the Dakota?

The motor swap wouldnt be to gain mileage, rather power. And it varies a great deal depending on how you tune your carb, how you drive, your elevation, how much you let your truck idle....ect. I would say your going to average about the same regardless of whether its a 318 or 360, just a power issue in the end.
