I have never done it, but, I would get a FSM for your year dakota. I imagine
you will need to swap the trans, engine, and mounts (both trans and engine).
If you do it, get a magnum v-6 engine, but you may hav a hard time finding
an intake unless you go to fuel injection. While you are at, get a v-8
instead. Buy a junkyard 318 or 360 witha trans for about $800-1200, get some
motor mounts and a dual plane intake with a road demon carb for another
$400-500.

> than this legendary term. From its original stock car roots to its
eventual
> domination of the world of drag racing, the 426 Hemi has left an indelible
> stamp on automotive history.
> Chrysler produced their first engines with hemispherically-shaped
combustion
> chambers in the 1951, but these early motors (301, 331, 354, and 392 cu.
> in.) share nothing in common with the 426 except for spark plug location
and
> basic valve train arrangement. These "old style" hemis were primarily
> passenger-car motors, although later versions did power the legendary
> Chrysler 300 "letter cars" until 1958. Chrysler referred to these engines
as
> the "Red Ram", "Firedome" and "Firepower" motors throughout their
> production. Horsepower peaked in 1958 with a 2-4bbl version of the 392
rated
> at 390 hp. Today, these motors are difficult to find, and those which
aren't
> in restored vehicles are most often found in fuel dragsters and funny
cars,
> running on alcohol.
>
> When the 426 Hemi was introduced in 1964, it was strictly a racing engine.
> On February 23 of that year, four Hemi-powered Mopars swept the Daytona
500,
> finishing 1-2-3-4. This single event caught the racing world by surprise
and
> eventually prompted NASCAR to impose stricter production rules on
Chrysler.
> Instead of producing only a few blueprinted Hemi motors each production
> year, they would instead have to produce several thousand and sell them in
> "ordinary" production vehicles. Fortunately, Chrysler didn't throw in the
> towel on the hemi after this (although they did sit out the 1965 season),
> and the end result was the slightly detuned street hemi which first
appeared
> in 1966 B-body Dodges and Plymouths.
>
> The street version differed from its racing cousin by virtue of a lower
> compression ratio (10.25:1), milder valve timing, and different intake and
> exhaust manifolds. For reliability, cast iron heads were used instead of
> aluminum. Very little changed inside the 426 Hemi throughout its
eight-year
> production life; only differences in camshaft design (more duration was
> added in 1968, and a hydraulic bumpstick was used beginning in 1970)
really
> separate the model years. Chrysler never changed the engine's advertised
> horsepower and torque ratings, which stood at 425 hp at 5000rpm and 490
> foot-pounds of torque at 4000 rpm.
>
> To list the races which 426 Hemi-powered cars have won would be
impossible.
> Although the motor was basically legislated out of NASCAR in the 1970s,
and
> emissions laws, high production costs, and the insurance industry stopped
> production of the street version in 1971, the motor still dominates the
top
> drag racing classes more than twenty-five years later. Additionally,
> aluminum versions of the block power virtually all top fuel dragsters and
> funny cars, and are often used in drag boats and "monster" trucks.

> modern-day Hemi enthusiast. In 1993 Mopar began manufacturing a new Hemi
