Crosswind air gap clone and ram truck serpentine setup
I heard mention at some point of 91 Dodge Dakota being a weird setup but don't remember ever seeing one, until last week. I was ata local junk yard and happened upon a 91 Dakota, 318 LA engine, with factory serpentire belt and AC. It appears to use an early Magnum style water pump.
The thermostat is in standard LA location, but the housing has a built-in offset toward right side. The AC bracket sits up higher than a Magnum. I have not had time yet to mock it up with the dual pattern intake, but I bought the parts because it looks like it may work.
I'll attach photos from of the Dakota I took before removing the bracket, but note the AC compressor was already missing.
