Why Carb and non OD a Gen 3?

I’m as old school as they come. I’ve been resistant to FI and electronically controlled motors for a long time. About a year ago I bought a blown up(valve seat) 2008 5.7 hemi for $125. I tore it down and rebuilt it.... I’m putting this motor in a 96 2wd std. cab Dakota.

Just "finished" swapping a 5.9 into my '91 Dakota 4WD, but I so wanted to put a 5.7 in there. If I didn't have my Duster or was looking for a project, a 2WD SCSB Dakota to G3 swap would be high on my list. Very cool.

What are you doing for exhaust? I wish Holley still sold the headers.
