I'm just tossing around a few ideas. I realize an engine swap is much easier
if you stick with the same engine...but as I have the gas guzzlin 3.9 I was
thinkin how realistic would it be to think that when she starts to show her
age...I'll just replace it with the 4.7 to increase the HP/MPG ratio.

Something tells me though that with all the money I'd spend, I probably
could hit the dealership and pick up a new one.....I just don't like what
Chrystler did with the interior of the new Daks....doesn't appear as
ergonomic as the 97+s.
