Hemi Swap into a 2nd Generation Ram
#13
I've seen several of the Dakota hemi swaps online and one into a Dakota with a blower on it. There is one hit over at pirate 4x4 that put one in a 94 ram but the thread died before he finished. He was doing a lot of time consuming suspension stuff on top of the hemi swap. Google" hemi swap and more" to see his write up.

After a week of working I got the Gen3 dash into my 97. Hemi is in the truck. I'm waiting for it to cool down outside. Motor mounts are getting measured and fabricated as soon as it drops below 105. Going to throw up some pictures tomorrow.
