yes it has been done, i bought a 96 ram totalled, and used it as a donor truck
to conv ert my 92 dakota, and it was fairly intensive, all computer, running
gear and periphrials, after a re-alignment of tranny-rearend, to eliminate a
start out vibration, this truck will launch, but not much difference in high
end response with rearend set up over a v-8, e-mail for information on special
mods
--------------------------------------
And later:
i would like to be on the dakota mailing list, and share any information that
may help the next guy on converting dakotas, i am looking to do a second one
soon myself
