Now obviously it doesn't just bolt in , but in MY opinion (not considering
the costs) it would be easier to drop in the V10 .
Now you gotta think about passing emmisions as well .
I would think that all of the mounts would hafta be custom made .
Probably the best thing to do is to find a totalled Viper and just yank
everything out of it (engine,tranny,rear,engine controls and harness).
Now Idon't know about anyone else , but I haven't seen anyone make a V10
Dak yet . If ya give it some time , I'll be that someone , somewhere will
do it though .
If someone would build the SR-71 truck and can sell it to make money , then
they can make a V10 Dakota and sell it for alot less and sell it too .
