97 Dakota 440 swap
 

I would like to do a 440BB swap into my 97 cc dakota. Has anyone ever tried this and if so how did it go? Is my 97 a good start, the truck is paid off so that helps.

do you have the 440? If not, hope you have deep pockets.

X2 on that. Ive never seen one before in a dakota.

Itll be no easy feat. I just put a 318 in and i have a 3 in body lift. i cant imagine trying to get at some of that stuff without that 3 inches.

I've seen one 440 six pack. Was at a car show at TMS.

I would love to see a 440 in a dak.

Most people usually put the 440s in the Gen 1 Dakotas not the Gen2 or 3s.

It has been done, but not easy. Nothing really ever is...

my question is, where do you find a 440 to begin with?

google.com

"440 engines for sale"

done.

dang i didn't think those would be on the rebuilding list still. I figured most would be out in junkyards or in peoples' garages.

I vote somebody go pick up a shumacher rotating assembly, put a 10-71 roots on it, and go from there.

or an origional 426 would work too.
