So spoiler on it, unless it actually does something.

If you have a 4.7 Litre"Semi-Hemi",It's only a matter of time before you'll lose oil pressure.The oil ports in those motors are too small,most of the re-conditioned oil they sell on the market today gums up and stops the oil from passing through the motor. The man I baught my Dak. from had his oil changed at a quicky lube.He got 120.000K miles out of the motor. It still runs good"BUT'",every port hole in it is closed.There's no oil preasure.
Someone could buy a Hemi on Ebay for around $2000.00. A 4.7 replacement is harder to find and cost just as much.I'll put your Hemi in your Dakota for $750.00 .All you need to buy is the Hemi and Motor mounts. That don't include the wiring or replacing the computer.I'll fit the Hemi in the truck,Cut weld and fabricate everything and warrenty the welds not to break.

Nice job. I'm still waiting for an update on the Viper-to-Dakota swap.

Would try this with my 98, but I'm waaaaaay too old for this stuff any more. My '
Next Dodge trk will be a diesel.

There are several links to finished Viper swaps. Check the FAQ in this section
And a few Diesel swaps too.

And a few more photos were added in to this post.

No flames, spoilers, or ground effects. You don't own a civic. So don't go ruining it.
