 Subject: R/T 6-speed swap
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 1990 dakota that I tore down and did a complete 1999 R/T Drive train swap. I switched the electrical and interior as well. I am just finishing off my second R/T transmission. I was wondering what it might take to put in a t-56 viper tranny. I am aware that the 360 requires a different flywheel, but what about bolt pattern and linkage? Has anyone else built one of these frankenstein machines?
Thanks,
Ben

I know KRC is working with Keisler Automotive out of TN on a T-56 swap kit for our dakotas. You should contact either of them for more details.

WOW! imagine an R/T with a 6 speed! finally all those stupid 4.7 vs 5.9 arguements would be over.. the r/t would be unbelieveably fast and quick.

About a year ago, truckin' magazine had a shootout that had a built 3rd generation Dakota in it that had a Viper 6-speed mated to a modded 5.2.

So then the arguments could start again when someone installs one behind a 4.7?

No, because a 6 speed RT would beat a 6 speed 4.7.
