Ok, some like diesels, some don't, some think they are a good idea, some
don't - Here's my question:

IF someone were to want to end up with a diesel Dak, what would you
start with? Specifically, does any generation of Dak provide a better
or worse platform for the swap. Also, assuming the donor motor has to
come from somewhere, what type and size of motor would be a good match
for the dakota's size? Turbo or non turbo? Displacement? I would say
that since this is a theoretical exercise, anything goes. If you think
the best way to do this would be to start with a 3.9 magnum block.. so
be it.

Disclaimer: This is kind-of a what if you won the lottery type of
question, There is no correct or incorrect answer. Treat it like
fantasy football - nobody give anyone grief about the (im)practicality
of their choices. Thank you for your time.
