By the time I have the money for any engine swap, the new 5.7 Hemi Will
probably be out. Hmmm, be the first on the DML to transplant a New Hemi into a
Gen II ;)...I would get to change my name- Hemikota? Dacuda? Dakota Induced
Delerium? :)

Seriously, if it's out and I can find a scrapped carf/truck to get all the gear
off of, I would defintely do it.

93 Dak, just imagine the possibilities
