I gave up on trying to find a cheap stand alone efi set-up for a dodge and crossed over to the dark side. I bougth a 5.3 LS motor/trans/ecm and harness/gas tank/driveshaft for $900.
 That's sad to hear
 i remember not too long ago an article that used the gm ls harness and sensors to fire a 5.7 hemi. too bad you couldn't go that route.....

Is this it? http://nutterracingengines.com/hemitronix/hemitronix.pdf
...far from simple/easy to copy. Chrysler uses a different tooth count on the reluctor wheel than GM does. If you buy the kit to make the hemi think it is a LS motor...it is $2500
yes, that was the article i remember, but wow ! i didn't know it cost that much !  sure blows the "cheap" and "affordable" factors away !!!!!

Richard which mopar engine were you going to use, 5.2 magnum or were you planing on a 5.7 hemi?.
there is a guy here on moparts (wldtm) that will set you up with a harness for a 5.2,
and hot wire has the hemi one for $995.
I hate that price too but is is only a few hundred more than the LS ones they sell.
if you are doing a 5.7 modern hemi pre 2009vvt...MSD has a unit that can be used to fire the ignition of a 5.7 or used to run the factory injection, i do not know if it will do both at the same time,,, they also have a wiring harness compatable with there HEMI box,if i remember correctly cost for the wiring harness was around 200 and the controller 485 depending where u buy it,,
1966 barracuda prostreeter super charged 340(SOLD)
1940 dodge coupe 241 hemi street rod
2014 ram express hemi 4x4 dailey driver
2015 cherokee

The 5.7 hemi was the one I tried researching. From what I read it was a pain to make it work without using the steering column that came with the engine (I want to use the old steering wheel and column for looks). Making the trans work sounded like a pain too (ABS required?).
With the LS, the harness is free and programing to run the engine and trans without the original car is $75
I never tried looking for what it took to swap a 4.7, 5.2, or 5.9

Sell the gm stuff and put in a 12v Cummins  They do come in Dodge trucks anyways. Good luck with the project regardless. My '41 has a 318/904. Bolted right onto the stock frame.

The way I see it, I'm still saving a badly hacked up Dodge truck. If somebody wants to undo the chevy motor part sometime down the road...they can.

Scrap the Dakota frame too, the S10 is narrower and easier to get the Chevy motor in.
