My dad is puting my incharge of rebuilding his 91 Dodge Dakota 4x4 extended cab. The 3.9 is getting a little worn out and will need a rebuild. My Dad is also looking for a little bit more performance. He and I have both decided that it would make things easier if we can stick with the stock auto tranny. Im looking at a decent build up on the 3.9 or maybe swapping in a 318. Somewhere between 200 to 250hp is the goal, will the stock tranny stand up to that for daily driving?

Yes, It's the same tranny they use on the Ram.

It's an A500 which isn't Mopar's best decision anyway. If your not having any trouble with it now, Add a Tranny Cooler! it will extend years & miles to the tranny. Also Cut that dang Thermal Valve off the line, It will do wonders.

Good Luck,
Shank

you might want to put a shift kit in it while your at it. it will extend the life also and give you a good hard shift to boot.
