 Subject: '95 Dakota GTS-R

Message:
I have a '95 Dodge Dakota Club Cab 4x4 and I'm undertaking the extreme project of swapping in a Mopar Viper V-10 aluminum motor, a B&M Race Powerglide transmission with a B&M Pro Ratchet shifter, a full-time 4WD system, and 19" wheels. I am going to strip the interior and install a full roll cage, Sparco carbon fiber seats, 4-point harnesses, fiberglass dash and other racing ammenities. I am trying to find out if anyone has any experience in a engine swap like this. I am removing the A/C system so I dont think it will be too big of a task. Does anyone know the price of the Viper crate motor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's cheap compared to the V10 Volkswagen TDI motor at $25,000.

I think it would be sick! to have that set up in a dak, I saw a pt cruiser with vip 500 hp engine in it, that was badass! GO FOR THE GOLD!

Diesel fuel is cheap, modifications are pretty easy, the engines are robust and make a ton of torque down low. Throw some bigger injectors at the VW motor and gain probably 50-75hp then get a fueling box and thats another 50-100hp.

Wait till something on a diesel breaks, you will paying out the ace for new parts. Not to mention 5 gallons every oil change.
