As Stated in my other Thread..

What ever Dakota I get, I am gonna try/aim on
gettin a True 30 Hp n 40 Trq extra.. I know that
the R/T Dakotas/Durangos make 250 Hp n 345 Trq..

A 360 will bolt up to everything on a 318 Dakota,
Right?? 5.2 Dakota Headers will work on a 5.9
in a Dakota Right?? Internet says wont work on
Engine Swaps.. Need the 5.9 Computer Also??

Thanx,
Rob

 

yes and yes

 

Yes for bolt Up? Yes for Headers? N Yes for Computer??
Is the 318 n 360 jus like a Chevy 305 n 350?? Same
outsides with Different Guts???

 

How can I get an extra 30Hp n 40Trq out of a
R/T 360??? Besides Dual Ehaust, Headers, n
Cold Air Intake.. Would next size up Injectors,
T.Body, get me a true 30Hp/40Trq???

I would like to have 280/300Hp n 380/400Trq..
How Possible is this?? I already plan on doing
Shorty Headers 2.5" Dual Flows, K&N Air Intake,
n a Computer Programer.. What else is Needed??
Not Lookin to Pull Heads, Change the Cam.. Really
just wanna Do The Normal Tight Budget Bolt Ons..

 

They are the same externally, different internals. The 360 will bolt up in place of the 318 and vise versa. They have the same heads, so the headers will bolt up. You will need the 5.9 computer. Also, the 318 is internal balance and the 360 is external balance, so you will need an externally balanced flywheel if manual or flexplate if auto.

As for the power you're looking for, good luck with bolt ons. You need to break the bank and get into the motor to get into the 300 hp, 400 ft*lbs range. The ~280/~380 may be possible with bolt-ons, but you probably won't see much more than that.

 

Im fine with 280/380.. I was/am jus gettin greddy.. But can that
be done with just Shortie Headers, Dual Exhaust, K&N Style Intake,
n a Computer Programer??? Also Im lookin at Cams (maybe down the Road)
n most of them only go up to 1991 n says not Computer Controlled..

I also know that my Ford Z Cam with a 552/552 lift says the same,
but it works 100% fine in my 331 Stroked n Ait ProCharged EFI Mustang..

Thanx,
Rob

 

Probably. I have a '95 that has OBDI, so I can't use the same programmers as OBDII, but I have headers, modded intake, ported throttle body and a mopar performance computer and I noticed a big difference with all those things combined. You may want to do a thread search on here for "kegger mod" for the intake manifold. That will help open up the intake for very little money. There are also other things you can do to free up power, like put in an electric radiator fan and get rid of the heavy mechanical fan.

For the cams, summitracing.com has a selection of comp cams for the magnum engines, and hughesengine.com has a selection of cams as well. They are expensive cams since these magnum v8s have hydraulic roller lifters and require billet contact surface.

 

Did Durangos come with 360s not the 360 R/T Durango??
What was the Hp of that 5.9 Durango?? Jus ReSearchin..

Thanx,
Rob

 

I think you're getting confused with durango (SUV) and dakota (pick up)

I'm not sure how the option sheet was designed, but I do believe there are some non-RT 360's. But due to Dodge's *quality* transmissions, you can assume that only 50-66% of the flywheel power makes it to the ground.

 

How Much Hp/Trq did the non R/T Durango 360 make???
