I only specific information that I have is for a '92 that also did a 340
swap. The owner is running BFG T/A 275/60R15 on 15 x 7 '78 Dodge Magnum GT
rims. His name is Terry DeLong, owner of Pro Finish in Avilla, Indiana
(219-897-2597).

I have been a big fan of the 340 since my '70 Duster, and currently have
a '69 340 in a '78 B100. I'm thinking about a swap into the '97 Dakota.
If you like, I'd be very interested in hearing about you and your Dad's
project (e.g. what tranny, drive shaft, rearend, ignition system, etc.
were used).
