I have the 3.9 V6 and im looking to swap the motor..I was wondering what swaps are out there and what proplr have done.

 

Well, for starters, you could swap in the 4.7, 5.2, and the 5.9L motors from any of the other 2nd Gen Dak's.....as they all were available in the Dakota.

I've seen a 5.9L swapped into a 3.9L dog house. The big thing is motor mounts, engine computers, wiring, and tranny...

 

would it be possible to swap in a 2.5 Turbo out of a daytona?

Im no expert on the 2.5 turbo, but I would think that that small of an engine would have a hard time getting this truck moving. The 2.5 would be EXTREMELY slow until it got spooled up. So I would just go with a 5.2, 360, or if your in the mood, build a 426.

 

dont put the 2.5 in it. trust me i have one and its slow....if it were me i would go with the 360. dont waste your time with a 318...or... twin turbo a 4.7l. that would be the ****
