your engine build sounds close to the engine I have in my Dakota that I am building into a race/street truck. what does your car run in the 1/8? my engine I bought off my friend that had it in a 94 Xtended cab Dakota, it was gutted etc and weighed 3200 pounds with him in it. my Dakota is a 91 SB 2wheel drive Dakota sport, that I put the cab and bed off a 96 onto it. his 94 ran 7.16 at 96
