There's probably a 50 wire harness going into the PDC. I for sure wouldn't move it. IF you saw what it looks like under the fuses, you wouldn't either.

Not much to clean it up. These trucks weren't made for show, haha. a polished stainless CAI or raw air cleaner to remove the stock airbox is about as close as you're going to get.

 

There is abunch of plasic wire covers on the hoses. Is that stock and would it hurt if I removed it? I will buildd some valve covers and maybe an intake manifold and some headers.

 

I dont think I have seen any for the Dakota but for more popular larger V8 models like the Ram truck you can get custom aluminum covers for the PDC and other parts in the engine bay

If you have the 4.7 you should be able to use any custom dressup part made for the Ram 4.7 or Jeep 4.7 as they have the same engine

 

That is a lot of wires to reroute!. Im pretty sure you couldnt run it in through the rubber gromet on the firewall. Once inside there is a lot of wires under the dash so it would be hard to get to the back.

a sheetmetal intake and SM valve covers are going all out for a V6. You're talking about 1500-2000 $$ in fab time, if not more.

For some cheap dress up or just needed scrap aluminum I’m lucky in town we have a metal supply place and its huge they have a scrap aluminum box and its usually very full of all kinds and sizes of scrap stuff at .08 a LB last time they just gave it to me for free.

Just made me a bracket for my upgraded A/C dryer with some scrap now all I need is some new stainless steel bolts that match

You have to ask yourself...does the pain justify the gain? IMHO not just no but HELL NO!!
