Mopar Performance has a set of templates for porting these cast iron heads.
Don't go overboard on the intake side as it'll cost low end torque.

I don't think that MP has released the '99 computers for the Dakotas as yet
... at least I haven't heard of it.

The R/Ts run with 17" rims. Just need to make sure that backspacing is aok.
May have to use fender flares even if backspacing is aok.
Good points = more selection of low profile performance tires at this size
Bad points = cost for both the rims and the tires

I personally have a hard time even 'rationalizing' the cost with the
performance
gains. It seems the ATI ProChargers may give the best gain in performance
especially with their intercooler option but a very expensive package. Also,
would have to consider the cost for retarding the timing ... either via an
aftermarket ignition system or reprogramming of the computer ... and beefing
up the tranny and rear differiential.
