No I wouldnt! lol. that's why I'm questioning this 360 would get the same mpg as a 239. If that was the case I'd just swap the 360. But a turbo 239 is what I'd be after. Good low rpm mpg, and a little pep when I need it.

The pictures i have on here aren't what I thought they were. If I could find my card reader i'd take some pictures of everything, especially the dash. I read a lot of people have a cracked one, and that was the best thing I had on my truck, lol.

A turbo 3.9 would be cool and different.

And probably not worth it. Take it from an ex-Dakota owner, guys were doing all sorts of upgrades to their V6s just to get them as fast as the ones with the 318 V8s.
