Default What engine would you want?

If you could put any engine in your Dak what would it be?
i.e. 5.7 HEMI, 5.9/6.7 Cummins, etc..

Me? Hell i'd want the new 5.7, or a turbo 5.9.

426 hemi would work... but not practical or very do able.

There is always that srt 10 too...

But I think a RC 2wd manual 6.1 would be the my "dream" dakota.

Easy...

I think he was sayin that you didnt really explain why you were asking the question.. Like what you might be or wanting to put it in to.

I'm just wondering everyone's dream combination. I don't plan on doing the hemi swap for quite some time.

I'd want a diesel, not sure about the models so much though.

If gasoline then I'd go for a GM L76 6.0L engine (either the aluminum block car one or the iron block truck one would be fine - the truck one has VVT - maybe the iron one if I planned to do towing and such)
