Message: Message:
Hello all, I have a 1996 Dakota 2wd that was born with a 2.5 litre 4 popper,w/ a 5spd standard tranny. Well, a few days ago, the crank,a few rods, etc. decided to come out and see the daylight through a football sized hole in the side of the block. The problem is, all of the local junk yards are telling me that the engine this truck needs is a "'96 only engine" and this is very hard to come by, and when found is very expensive. I need to know what some of my options are, I want to keep the 5spd. Can I either use an older 2.5, or will a 3.9, or a 318 bolt right up to the tranny? and what all parts would I need to complete this swap? also, are Jeep engines Compatable? Thanks! Norm
