i'm just hoping to get some opinions to help me make a decision. i have a 2000 dakota v6, i want to swap it out for a v8, so heres my question. i found a guy with a 2000 durango 4.7, he rolled it. it only has 132,000 km on it after he uprighted and got it running he drove untill the safety inspection ran out. the problem i'm having with my decision is i can't hear it running when i go see it because he says his buddy hooked up some booster cables wrong and screwed the computer. i can get the durango for $700.
i guess my question is should i stay away from it or should i buy it? i guess worse case cenerio i could sell it again. i have to drive approx 2 hrs to look at it and tow it home if i buy it.
the reason i am looking to swap is my 3.9 v6 has almost 400,000 km on it still run good but nocks pretty good when she's cold so if i'm going to freshen it up with another engine i may as well take a step up.
