Tom:
I had a 340 ready to go in mine, but after I looked at a Shelby Dakota, I
seen that I would have had to put a front crossmember in, sway bars, and
all of the motor mounts, and it is not even guaranteed to work. My big
suggestion is to sell the truck and get a 92 or 93 with the magnum and you
will be much happier. I just test drove a Shelby and I know I wouldn't get
the same ride as I did in the Shelby. Besides, it is a lot less work too.
