Ok, my mistake then, I'm a dodge boy FYI with an 01QC. Wasn't trying to be negative bout the comment even though came off that way. But being a Chevy motor yes it would be small but u said Stoked to 438...if u woulda just said that then there wouldn't be confusion lol. When u get a vid mount or a passenger record a straight run. Bitch is pretty bad
@thomaschawkins no harm done! there were a lot of comments from chevy boys that heard "383" and instantly they ignored everything else and said "a 383 is a stroked 350, not a big block" it got old after awhile! I'm a mopar guy, but I know about Chevy 327s, 350s, 383s, 400s, etc, or Olds 455s, or Ford 460s, or.....lol
@thomaschawkins 442? as in...4 barrel carb, 4 speed transmission, dual (2) exhaust? thats what 442 was! lol! (Olds 442s did not have engines that were 442 cubic inches) or did you mean Mopar 440 big block? Honestly, the best thing you can do is get rid of the 4.7 truck, and get one that was originally a 5.2/5.9L truck. then you can stroke them to 408, aluminum heads, boost, etc. even go aftermarket blocks capable of 1000+ hp. but with a 4.7L truck, not much you can do!
@thomaschawkins you should check out double U, Double U, Double U dot dakotart dot com (fucking Youtube won' allow direct links to be typed in! GAY GAY GAY!
@thomaschawkins anyway, yea, it's a Mopar big block, and everything on that truck is Mopar. check the rest of my videos. lots of video of that truck and my new one (it's a small block though)
@thomaschawkins Hey. Chevy boy. Open your horizons a little bit, will you please? Google "Chrysler 383" or "Dodge 383" or "Plymouth 383" Let me know what you learn. This is NOT a small block chevy stroked to 383. it's actually a 383, stroked to 438 cubic inches. Thanks for the concern, but I do in fact have a Dodge engine, in a Dodge truck!
@filbert383 I should say....I did. I don't have this truck anymore, it's an old video! lol! Thomaschawkins....you think those heads are small? those are Edelbrock Performer RPM heads for a big block Mopar, capable of up to 550 hp out of the box. sorry that your eyes are fooling you, they are not "small"
@j21hustlin Didn't have it on the track much, and never ran it with slicks, so it never hooked. I was running mid 13s at 105 mph. with slicks I think It could have broke into the 12s pretty easilly
@brownboy9211 for the right price, are you looking to buy, or just curious? I wouldn't sell for less than $12K. I have 6K in the engine build, to include dyno time, and 4K into the transmission swap. Plus everything else that's done to it--suspension, body kit, gauges, etc.
@brownboy9211 well...I've got $6K in the motor, $4K in the trans once you add in the bell housing, flywheel, clutch, TO bearing, etc. and there's probably another $5-7K in suspension/brakes/body mods, fuel cells, fuel pumps, gauges, and all the other miscellaneous stuff.
@Iamfrankenstoner Its a TKO600, all you need to put one behind your 383 is a 130 tooth flywheel, 10 or 10.5" clutch, a lakewood or quicktime bell, and the gearbox. (but the gearbox alone is $2000!!)
Yup. It's a tko-600. You can do the swap using a QuickTime bell available at summit and a 5.9l flywheel from any full size truck, or go aftermarket, but I think the aftermarket flywheels are lacking the tone ring for the CPS to control the EFI
Seabee, you're absolutely correct. Big block Hemi motors had the spark plug wires through the valve covers...but, a big block us not automatically a hemi, and a hemi is not automatically a big block. "Hemi" just means the shape of the combustion chamber, nothing else. The 331, 354, and 392 were all hemis on a small block, just as the 361, 383, 400, 413, 426, and 440 were all big blocks that had "wedge" heads on them. The new 5.7L, 6,1L, and the 6.4L fuel injected hemis available now in truc
Man I love this Dakota. I've got a 98 Dakota with the 5.2 fuel injected but I would love to put a bigger motor and carborated. How'd you do it? Is there a check engine light? It passes emissions? Thanks
That is so sick man!!!! haha I have always wanted to put a v8 in a little ranger or dakota. Is it hard to put a carb'd motor in an efi truck? I have no idea how to even hook up a carb'd vehicle!! Its sad... Guess that what you get for growing up in the fuel injected era... kinda sucks!! Nice truck tho for sure!!
You my friend have a sikk dakotaa! Mine is a work in progress but one day ill be at the level you are! Feel free to check my video out and tell me what u think!
@rudyball1978 The block is mounted with hand fabricated, solid steel mounts, and the headers are also hand fabricated pieces. I did no cutting on the truck at all!! just used a big rubber mallet on the firewall in a few places and that's it. the manual brake master cylinder is a generic Mopar disc/drum manual brake master--1" bore. I ordered it from Master Power brakes, I think they sell it as a "1970s Mopar Manual disc/drum Master, 1" bore"
you're obviously a chevy guy. I would NEVER put a chevy motor into a MOPAR! I can promise you, that this is not a bow tie small block. did you even LOOK AT THE VIDEO!?!? if you can't tell the difference between a big block mopar and a small block chevy, hit up google and do some research! here's a big hint--look at the distributor...notice how it's in the front? What chevy 350 came with the distributor up front? another hint--look at the intake manifold...what do you see?
@filbert383 yea im a chevy guy and i was wondering y you had a 383 in a dodge and it would ruin chevy i dont know y some people do put a chevy motor in a dodge
nope. no need. there's no check where I live. it'll never pass either. if my area ends up with E-checks, then the truck will get parted, not point in even trying to keep it "street legal" at that point!
It's just a simple dual exhaust that I welded together on my own, 2.5" pipes with a single "2-in, 2-out dynomax ultra flow" muffler, it's straight through with fiberglass packing around it, picture an x-pipe with perforations and glass packing around it. Nothing special!
I pulled the tank and pit a cell in the bed to make room for a dual design that goes straight back from each header, that will have 2 mufflers and will exit in front of the rear tires, but that a future mod for now!
Yes. Dynomax ultra-flo the 2 inlet, 2 outlet straight through muffler that crosses in the middle like an x-pipe. but that's about to go for a new 3" dual exhaust! (video to follow)
The 97-99 Dakotas had a large diameter, thin booster, and would not fit. I was able to put a booster off a 00-04 Dakota in and it fit, because the newer ones are a smaller diameter, but thicker overall. It bolted right up with no problems, however, althought it fit, I had to remove the booster everytime I wanted to pull a valve cover...not fun! The manual brakes are actually berry good, it's a firm pedal, but stops the truck well...I can still lock up the wheels if I wanted to
