Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Rate Thread Dodge Dakota 2.5 4 cyl as a swap candidate? #1054291 11/22/12 04:42 PM Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 76 MI redsput OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Found what appears to be a great deal on a 93 Dakota. Complete rebuilt engine (full documentation) with under 1k miles before wind and a tree joined forces to crush the truck right at the front of the bed (front clip unharmed.) Anyone know if this is a reasonable swap candidate for a 2.6? 89' v6 5-speed Raider 33's (toy) 95' LS Montero (the tow mule and workhorse) 87' 2.6 Raider (in process) 88' 2.6 Montero 2 dr (in process) 88' 2.6 Raider (organ donor) 89' 2.6 Power Ram [D50] Jr's wheels Re: Dodge Dakota 2.5 4 cyl as a swap candidate?

I personally have not heard of anyone on here doing this particular swap. From what I can find out about the dakota 2.5, It does not appear to have the same block, so it would not be a direct bolt in swap.
