I've put a 360 in my Dakota, although probably not like you would expect.
I won't go on at great length here as some others who read this list
already know the particulars, but I yarded out the 318 and auto overdrive
trans from my '89 Shelby Dakota and have replaced it with a .060 over '72
360 block that has been completely machined and race built. Just for
fun, we have a MP 6 pack on the intake and I am using MP headers for the
'91 Dakota 318. The tranny is a full race 904 by ATI and I also am using
their trans brake, dampner and 8" high stall torque converter. Needless
to say, this is a full race setup.
