Good for you, well done.

At time of this writing there were 34 views and no reply's so I am going to, not that I have a clue what I am talking about (I have a lot of company, mostly in Government, with that).

Are you going to use just the engine from the 2000 Dak? I am doing a Dakota sub frame (92) to '56 Plymouth frame and with out looking the year up (too lazy) the seconded gen Dakota's had a complete different front suspension etc.

For those who care (nobody) the "sweet spot" where the first gen Dakota and the '56 frames are almost identical is 18 inch's back of the front axle centre line.
