Message:
Iv posted several times. I need help. I have a 1990 Dakota
2wd 4cyl. I would like to drop a magnum in her. What do I
need to do the swap. I have a five speed now. I know I need
the motor and trans, wiring harness and computer. How
involved is it. I don't want to splice wires and such. Just plug
and play. Please help with all information

Do I need the dashboard? Is everything
a bolt in pretty much? Any pics?

having the dashboard makes the wiring problem go away, and it just bolts right in where the existing dash does, with the same bolts
nope, no pics, well there are, but they are buried somewhere on a backup drive
I did the swap like 5 years ago
