Just a quick note, most V8 Dakotas are going to have a 518/46RH behind them. The V6 Dakota most likely to have a 500/42RH.

There is no difference between a 518 and a 46RH, it was just a change in how the transmissions were designated. Both could be had with or without lockup depending on the application.

Cool project by the way. Good luck with it.
