I need ideas on a v8 swap from 92 and up Dakotas. I have a
1990 with a 4 cyl 5 speed. I want to put a v8 fuel injection or
throttle body with a five speed. Need to know how hard it is
and what I need!!!!

Get a Magnum 318 out of a Dakota along with the computer. You will need a bellhouse for a V6 5 speed (AX-15 trans) as it fits the 318 and your trans. Other than exhaust work and motor mounts it's pretty much just throwing in parts with minimal fabrication. That's the cheap way to do it.

you will need to figure out a fan
I mounted the thinnest one i could find between the radiator and the AC condenser

I also took the dashboard for electronics, the tranny, t case, and had a driveshaft modified
other than that, like he said, its jsut a part swap extravaganza!

1990 sport RC SB, 1995 318drivetrain, 3.92 gears (came with truck) Powertrax "traction system", 95 dash/steering wheel, hearthrob exhaust, headers, cutout after y-pipe, necessary electric fan add-a-leafs, 30x9.5 mud tires, cranked T-bars, AR 39 15x8 rims, grill guard, roll bars
