2002 Dakota Sport 4WD 4.7L engine swap
#12
I haven't really done a great job keeping up on this thread the past few days, but we've made a good amount of progress, including dropping in the new engine!
Exhaust manifiolds and heat shields all bolted up
Ready to go!
Almost there!
It's in!
We got almost everything done underneath the truck today (exhaust and some brackets). All that's left to do under there is putting the starter motor back in. It's lookin good for now though!
Here's how it's sitting right now:
Were hoping to have it up and running by the weekend!

Here's the latest update
Got the fan on
Then the radiator...
...and a/c and transmission coolers
Here's a very short little video as well

Anyways, its running awesome! The transmission feels good too, so that's kind of a relief. We took it for a drive around the neighborhood and the check engine light came on, so we borrowed a code reader from my neighbor. Turns out somethin is kinda weird with one of the o2 sensors. That can be replaced though. Well, that's all for now!
