Well looks like I haven’t updated my post in a long time. I got the engine and transmission installed. Had a hell of a time trying to fit a electric cooling fan and electric water pump to fit in the same place with out hitting each other. Lol so now working on getting the ford exploder 8.8 ready to go under the truck. Then just have to get a drive shaft, fuel system and a ingtion sysyem and I will be ready to go. Lol well at least I hope I will be. Lol oh I finally found that a fan off a 05 Dodge Charger with a 5.7 Hemi fit the Dakota radiator great. Just had to make to small mounting brackets for the bottom. The water is for the 91 318 Dakota sport. It is reverse rotation but has a removable belt pully. Here are a few picks of my truck.
