Hi, we have a 2004 Dodge Dakota 4 door, V6, automatic, 2 wd. The engine is bad and my grandson wants to put a V8 in it. We have a running 360 / automatic out of a 1979 Dodge Magnum. We also have a 5.9 that would need rebuilt. My husband thought instaling the motor and transmission out of the Magnum would be cheaper then rebuilding the 5.9. They want to go with a carb and keep the AC and power steering. What are your thoughts and what would they need?
