I just thought I would share and take any input you all may have. It is a 93 Dodge Dakota Club Cab. A year ago I built a 408 R3 with Indy 360-2 210 CNC heads. It has 9.5:1 compression and MegaSquirt MS3X sequential fuel injection. I ran it for a year N/A to get all of the bugs worked out and to save the cash needed for the turbo stuff. I am putting twin B366 Bullseye Turbo's on it with the BatMoWheels and race housings. Right now I am in the process of building the headers. It's slow going but I am making progress. Let me know what you all think and any advice you may have. This is my first header and turbo build.
Thanks,
Joe

Looks nice! Any issues with the spark plug wires with the headers up like that??

 

I think u should have used the headers with the wire loom primaries they look like they would flow very well ROFL . JK ! That hot side u know the real one looks very nice!

 

Nice work!

 

NICE!!!!

 

Nice!! What did it run NA.

 

I forgot to update. I finished it up just in time for the Hot Rod Power Tour. Made the whole trip with no major issues. It ran high 12's N/A, but it is heavy with relativly low compression.

Whens the first trip to the track with the turbos?

Also do you know what it weighs?

Thanks

 

Not ready for the track yet. It weighs 4460 with me in it before the turbos. I'm guessing just over 4500 now. I need to remove some unnecessary weight.

 

I never expected a Dakota to weigh that much. I wonder if its because its an extended cab? Ive got a regular cab here I want to put a Gen 3 hemi turbo in.

 

HELL YEAH dude!!!

 

Looks sweet!!!! Looking forward to turbo updates

 

They're fairly good sized trucks. I've ditched the AC, front axle, and gas tank skid plate and it still comes in over 4000lbs without me in it. Gen 3s are even heavier.

The regular cab 2wd 2nd gens were around 3700 or so.

 

My regular cab 94 3420 with me in it those extra cabs have some weight in them not such a little truck weight wise LOL!

 

To be fair, I have a sub, an amp, onboard air, air horns, air tank, power everything, tonneau cover, spray in bed liner, a heavy R3 block, and a couple of turbo's along with large radiator, 4 electric fans, a mess of other electronics, and fluid coolers.

I have since removed the compressor, air tank, two piece drive shaft swapped for a single aluminum one, and the spare tire.

Still going to relocate the a/c condenser to the rear, wrap the headers, and put some LS coils on it. Also have to send the converter back for a stall change. Then a Strange S60, bigger brakes, wheels and tires.

 

Keep us updated! FYI, mine with full interior, full CM cage, Dana rear, glass hood is 3390 with me in it.

 

Made it out to the drag strip a couple of weeks ago. Converter is too loose and tires were too small. Ran outta gear at about 1000' mark.
