Thank you

And Ebay is your best friend or at least it was for me. My engine was just under 2k shipped to my door.

 

Wow, not bad. Do you know if there any books, manuals, write ups etc. of any kind that give you a step by step process to swap a 3.7 to 4.7? Or did you just do it completely on your own?

 

Um There is the service repair manual but your not going to find a process to swap the V6 for the V8

 

The only 4.7's on ebay right now are from cherokees and I guess they arent compatible with dakotas. I guess I'd have to find one from another dakota huh? Add low miles to that and sounds like a pipe dream.

I look under my hood and I see all the space between the 2 fans and it looks so natural to have 2 more cylinders there, but I'd have no clue how to reattach the wiring, emissions stuff AC and all that. That's why I was hoping there was some kind of guide to go by

 

if you have an 04, you have a ngc PCM with 4 plugs and a 32 crank tone ring. you cant get a older jtec 3 plug pcm that has a 16 crank tone ring. I was able to swap a 03 jeep HO in my 01 since that year ho has the 16. i believe all jeep HO's are 16.

 

Haha, I live only a mile or so away from where you filmed that video. Shoetz Park in Hales Corners right?

Nice truck man. I think i've seen you out on Highway 100 once or twice. I drive a 2006 silver Dakota.

 

Yeah. Thats right. Small world isn't it. And yes you probably have seen my out on Hwy. once or twice or quite a few times.
