Exclamation 3.9 4bt cummins swap into dakota

I'm looking to swap a cummins 4bt into a dakota 4x4 and wondering what the price will be for it and what all has to be done to it.

Default

depends on what trans you want to run and how much you are able to purchase a motor for. mine came with mounts, an alternator, intercooler, and another trans that is a ford 4 speed that is useless to me. lets say 3K for a motor, atleast 1K for a trans if you want to use a 5 speed. adaptor shafts for np231 t case? mine was $150. vacume pump if it didnt come with the motor? or you can go my way and put a hydroboost system to operate the power brakes which as $100 off craigslist (01 Dodge ram system) steel prices are pretty high which makes it expensive to fabricate things. do you have a welder and other metal working tools? clutch for the trans if you go with a manual. drive shaft length? my rear is 4 inches too long and my front is 4 inches too short now but that also has to do with what trans you pick. im sure i am forgetting some things but just be prepared to spend money. i have been doing a lot of it
