Nice Dodge, 3.9 was a fine motor early version was weak the later version was real peppy mother mopar should have punched and stroked it to 4.4...that would have cheesed off GM🤣
It doesn't have as much pep as my Chevy Express 350 Vortec engine , but does fine around town. Getting past 60 mph on the interstate is where it falls flat on its face though.
I'd love to stick a 5 speed from a Dokota truck in it. The transmission should be straight forward. I may have to fab a mount and have the driveshafts spliced and modify the shifter to clear the doghouse.
The pedal assembly is the hurdle. I can't seem to determine just from photos of pedal assemblies on eBay if one from a RAM truck would work. They all look different from the one on my van.
I'd like to know if a pedal assembly from a 93 and older D-series Dodge full size truck would work. Apparently from 94 up the RAM trucks are a new design.
The brake pedal bracket on my van just bolts to the firewall.
