Making a little progress on the W5 engine for the Dakota

[tvt59]

My son did this intake for the W5 engine with EFI.

Which intake is that?

It's a M1 4500.

When you get a chance, please post one more picture from the front looking downward at an angle. A view that's like looking at it in the engine compartment.

No worries. We'll see it when it's done.
Is this a naturally aspirated engine project; no boost? What size intake valve is going in the heads?

I'ts N/A 2.125" intake. 14.8 to 1 compression

Is this in a Gen 2 Dakota? Which headers are you going to use?

I just got on the TTI list for long tube 1.75" primary tubes. These are the ones that originated from John's specs at Southeast Performance.

Dakota Long Tube Headers

Custom long tube headers for 1997-2003 Dodge Dakota. These are perfect fitting long tube headers for Dakota and Durango chassi.

Yes sir 2001. I bought a kit from Stainless Steel Headers. 2" primary and 4" collector to make the headers for it.
