His 3.9L is not a mag motor.....that didn't start until like '95 so he is dealing with a TBI 3.9L. And that is not true about the V8 not being offered until ;ike '94......Shelby was making 318 Dakota's in the late 80's early 90's......remember the convertible Dakota.....those had 318's in them. If you have seen one the dist is right up against the fire wall......I'd take and empty block and swing it into the engine bay and see how it fits before I'd shell out the $400......you might be able to fab up some mounts then.
