I'm looking at buying a dakota to swap my mildly built 360 into, but im having trouble finding a 2wd 5 speed v8. I know they still put the 360 in the 2000 and up daks.
Will it be possible to buy a 2000-02 dakota, and swap in my built 360, with a 2wd 5 speed? Or is my only option 99 and below?
The swap option is still possible since it is a 360, which was available up to the 2003 model year. Yeah, the 2wd V8/manual trans option was a rare option across both the Gen II and III Dakota's, so finding one is going to be hard.
It would be best to find a 2.5 I4/manual, since they seem to be the most common next to V6/manuals. The V6/manual would be the best option in this case, as the engine harness would just need the two extra injector connectors spliced into the harness.
