[PanzerAce88mm]

its a dream of mine to have a dakota with a 408 in it. i want to drop one in a regular cab and drop a dana 70 in the ass end.

[ur2ndurlast]

Can't wait to get my 1999 Dodge Dakota Sport EXT Cab v8 5.2L Yellow I'm going to slap a turbo on the bitch. I't has 80,000 miles with a drop kit.

[mythbuster74]

Is that the stock starter I hear?

[bcschanen]

It sure is.

[mythbuster74]

@bcschanen they all sound exactly the same

[dorbrod]

@bcschanen do you know the part number of your headers or on what vehicule those headers are supose to fit and what are the tubing size at the primaries and collecter cause i want to put headers on my dak r/t but all i had found is made to fit the original y-pipe and i don't want it because there to small. thanks and nice truck

[blzr93]

[GMC02NS]

wut chamber of heads are you using wut cam are you using on you truck

[GMC02NS]

wut compresion are u runing

[bcschanen]

9.5:1

[GMC02NS]

where did you bought all that like the crank and the pistons nice truck mine is red 2 did the 408 make a diffrence wut were u running with regular 360 thanks

[bcschanen]

Crank is "Scat"

Pistons are "JE Pistons"

Yes, the added 200+hp made a difference.

Never went to the track with the 360- but it would've turned high 14s.

[GMC02NS]

wut did you have to buy and chaged too make the 408 I have a 99 and I want to make it 408 wuts your best time 1/4 mile

[bcschanen]

Block bored out 0.030", 4" diameter pistons, 4" Stroker Crankshaft. Everything else is basically interchangeable with a normal 360.

Best 1/4 Mile time to date: 12.53. Don't remember the trap speed right now.

Thanks for watching/commenting!

[Itsintheface]

about how much was the project all together?

[cdusthockey]

nice truck man, did you ever get your tranny problems fixed? is that just the stock pan, just polished? also, can you tell any difference with the ghetto cold air pipe you put in there? nice truck again, and i bet your neighbors really hate you!! :)

[klschanen]

Tranny problems are all taken care of and it runs perfect :) I had a company called Auto Trans Design take care of the issues. It's a stock-style, aluminum trans pan.

Yes there's a difference with the ghetto air hose, it's temporary until I figure out a cold air induction system that I like. I can touch the round filter after driving and it's cool by the hose, but HOT on the opposite side.

Thanks for watching & commenting!

[bcschanen]

^^ That was me, didn't realize I was on someone else's account.

[amermuscle]

awesome video !!! wish i could turn my 360 into a 408 :)

[KJeezy351]

Love it. Really envy your motor.

[dustinwarne]

BA (AKA) bad ass

[Nikon89xj89]

who the hell cares about smog. just keep gettn Rejection stickers

[mopower4406pack]

sounds awsome, does the 408 pass smog checks? Im wondering cause i live in california and want to swap out my stock 5.9....

[bcschanen]

You might be able to get a 408 to pass in CA, but it could be a big pain to do. I really doubt my truck could ever pass smog checks in CA.

[yfz450lover]

what does it take to turn a 360 to a 408

[submitaweasel]

new bottom end (longer stroke)

[ChevelleSSLS6]

move out of "commiefornia". Gotta love the treehuggers :/ Sure, be environmentally responsible, but I'm not going to drive a golf cart/prius/kia/same thing that's going to leak battery guts all over in a collision.

[xXBloodSightXx]

@ChevelleSSLS6 its not even that but if air pollution was so bad then there would be no factories left... if it was that bad, this government is so corrupt its not even close to funny. dont mind most gov'ners but the fucking national government is a joke! haha

[bcschanen]

thanks!

[dakotaRT18]

SOUNDS MEAN!!!!!!!!! i love it

[southdakota210]

great truck what gears you running? couldnt tell if you were hookin up at the end. buidling a 318 to swap into mine right now.

[bcschanen]

It has the stock rear end with the 3.92's in it right now. And no... it doesn't hook up at all yet.

[plumcrazypurp]

yeah the rear ends of dakotas are pretty light

[RamThisDTO]

Nice truck. What are you running for engine management? Flashed PCM? Or standalone? I have a POS KRC engine in my 96 Ram that I'm going to part out eventually. Check out my vids to hear mine running open header. I also have my 2000 Ram with a stock 360 running the dyno in my vids.

[phillipryan13]

Right now I'm running a custom flashed PCM. That's too bad that you aren't happy with KRC. It seems like many people have a poor experience with them, while others live and breath by everything that Marty says. What do you have in mind for a new setup?

[bcschanen]

By the way.. that guy ^^^ is me, I was logged onto his account instead of my own and didn't realize it.

[jasonwb89]

sweet truck man. looks and sounds great

[usmcjaa83]

where did you get the intake?

[bcschanen]

I'm assuming that you are talking about the round air filter. I bought it in seperate pieces; bottom plate, filter, and the top "x-stream" lid all from w w w . summitracing . c o m

I had to get a 1/4 - 20 threaded rod to make an "s" bolt to offset the filter so that it would fit correctly. Not that the bottom "plate" of the filter is also "offset".

Search the forums at w w w . dakota-durango . c o m for more information!!

[sparkeypluggz]

bad ass!

[77nock]

wow to the guy with a civic if you knew shit running on open headers doesnt lose you horsepower you actually lose torque and gain top end horsepower

[gaprince86]

Damn, that thing is amazing. Forget that honda lover, he wouldn't know real horse power if it bit him in the ass.

[domaysayshondasgay]

this guy's right man. i'd be terrified if this guy pulled up to me with his civic. especially cause those awesome open headers are "robbing you power". if you really want to go fast, you should bolt on a 3' tall spoiler. that'll get you to hook up better. install a 250 shot of nitrous too. if you're too big of a wang to install it yourself, take it to midas or something. they work on race engines all the time. they'll even tell you why your check engine light is on.

PS: honda's gay.

s.o.m.b.!

[civicpower741hp]

I just want to let you know that having those "awesome" open headers is losing you horsepower. Not even your displacment fills in for that.

P.S. You better pray that you never see me at a stoplight, open headers or not.

[bcschanen]

Thanks for watching!

[94EglVisionTSI]

lol your funny kid if hes got a built motor like that he is undoubtly gaining horsepower...but for example if you did that to your civic it would probably lose horsepower , nice logic
