Default What is the likelyhood.......

of there being able to feasibly fit a 5.7 Hemi into a gen 1.(91-96) Dak? I saw a man in town with the local Dodge dealership truck (a Dakota as described) with Hemi badges on it. This is almost certainlya fake badge job, right?

The electronics setup on the new engines are crazy.

Yea, anything is possible.
Of course, its more probable that someone just slapped some stickers on there to look "cool."

After launching past them ,I love to hear them beg to see what is under the hood .Rather than they look at the fender and say " that was no big deal ,after all its got a hemi .

Agreed. Of course, my 3.9L is neither.

people try to race me in my 88 all the time. they think just cause it has a hood scooptha theremust be something big under it. and since I get a knock in the engine at idle, it makes it sound like a V8.butwhats the point of racingin the city. theres been too many accidents involving racing, so I dont do that sh*t anymore.



I cant wait till summer when I put the 318 in it. then she will turn some heads
