ok my friend gave me a dodge dokota cuz he got it for parts for his v8 dokota. i wanna do same thing but he bought truck with the swap already done so he knows nothign about how to do it. so i was wonder what all is needed. and what type motor. i was thinking 350 cuz i can get one cheap. but its a dodge. and pluse i dont know if the motor mounts would work. is the swap the same as a v8 s10 swap? thanx for info guys

Clint

its the same basic idea, but you are right, the motor mounts wont work, unless you are good at fabrication, I'd look into swapping a dodge motor (like a 360), might need to get a whole K-member from a v8 dakota but that is what I'd do..

so the they made a v8 dokota? in that year?

na im doing a 88 lol. my friend has one so i know its posibel. just wonder what all it takes and where i can get it. i can get a 360 ez 5 speed trany might be a little hard to find. but i well need motor mounts,vut i dont know from ther

Don't know jack about swapping 350's into s10's. But when It comes to dakotas, it's a very easy swap. You just need the electronics, engine with motor mounts and exhaust manifolds, If your going 5 speed make sure the engine is drilled for a manual transmission. tremec t56 will bolt right up as long as you have the bellhousing. The 3.9L v6 is just a v8 minus 2 cylinders. everything off the front of the engine will swap over with no prob.
