@thetonster78 i have 92 dakota that i swapped a 318 mag in to i converted it to carbureted with a edelbrock air-gap intake mild cam and a 650cfm holley vacuum secondaries and ignition kit money ran low due to cracked heads when building, and block work but i went with the 5 speed that was orig. in my truck to save money. i put a bigger clutch in it the tranny will hold up i got around 8500 miles on mine wit half of that hard miles. the tranny will do some hella 2nd gear dumps around 3500 rpms
@thetonster78 the slight prob to this is the gearing in the tranny, you have to remember that this is a v6 rated tranny and geared for a v6, it does hold up though, but to me the 318 feeld like a hopped up v6, you might be able to regear the rearend to counter the tranny gears but i dont think you can do a whole lot about it, mine has an 8 1/4 stock rear with stock 3.55s but i replaced the diff with a posi from warren gear, stock diff shredded the spider gears 1 month after bought truck wit v6.
@RCBev oh, and motor mounts were fabbed at that time using grand cherokee motor mounts. however this setup was changed and mounts were made, nit schumacher makes a kit that all bolts in for about 350

Those are flowtech headers. Not sure the model number. I know they are for a mid 90's magnum motor and just closed the provisions. The bolt and tube pattern is the same.
Do u kno if u can put the transmission from a regular cab 1992 dodge dakota into a 1995 extended cab dodge dakota. they are both the 3.9 v6 motor and both are 4x4. if not do u kno of anybody?
would i hav to get an adaptor or anything to make the drive shaft from the extended cab to fit on the regular cab transmission. the year difference shouldnt be a big factor either?
No i dont think you need anything. The Xcab drive shaft is 2 piece to make up for the added length. The transmissions are the exact same though, and so is the imputs
@CarolinaFireman My dads got a 1966 chrysler new yorker 440ci mutha fucka its a beast 5k on motor and 2k on trans 400bhp and 412fp of torque FUCK YEAH MOPAR RULES!!!
dude sweeet engine i have a 98 dakota with a 318 all original accdept the flowmasters and its got 182000 miles on it and she goes to a 120 pretty quick still drive like when i got it off the show room foor 10 years ago
yea, check out my brother's dakota on my videos. Flowmaster 40 series custom exhaust.
just out of curiosity, you dont have your water pump belt hooked up, do you? if not, then you probably shouldnt be revving the piss out of that engine for as long as you were and not have any water running thru the block. hey, your engine tho. just my .02 cents...
runnin it that long wont hurt it. if the belt was hooked up hed be ever more sol all his shit would run out the motor. its a 318. they last without oil. a little missing antifreeze and overheating wont hurt
whatever you say bro. it isn't an aluminum block engine, its cast iron. he needs to have a radiator or a bucket of water with the hosed in it or some kind of makeshift cooling system. i would put money on that the engine temps in that short amount of time probably rose to over 215-220 degrees.
318s don't last very long w/o oil. my brother's LA series 318 spun a rod bearing when the factory oil pump shit the bed. it only took about 5 miles of driving w/a bad oil pump before it was too late.
lol, ok its my truck, i built it along with my friend who posted this video for me a while back, there is another vid if you look under my videos. 73DrtSprt is right, it was a quick fire, the motor didn't come close to getting hot, i could grab the headers and rest my palm om the cylinder heads. just fyi... when you first start most cars, there is no circulation of coolant untill the thermostat opens. think of it that way,
My dad used to have a 1992 dodge dakota it came with a 318 magnum the things are power houses but he totaled it in the winter. So now I'm taking the motor out of it and putting it in a 2wd dakota his was 4wd
