so I bought my 96 Dakota august 2013 and I love it and would like to build a nice street/strip truck and I came across a conversion kit to go from either the v6 or v8 to a 5.7 hemi and I was wondering if anyone out there in mopar land has successfully done this and has any tip's or do's and donts on this or if you have a different engine that makes more power than the 5.7. my ultimate goal is to have the thing doing wheelie's on command and throwing down some nice 1/4 mile times but yet being able to take it on a nice drive down the beach and scare some women and children lol

 

Read the FAQ2 sticky, there is a how to on doing exactly that in there.
