Dodge Dakota V6 to V8 engine swap

I own a 2001 Dakota Sport 2wd with a 3.9 V6 & 5 speed manual transmission. I want to swap it out with a V8. What do I need to accomplish this?  

Should be pretty straightforward. The 3.9 V-6 is just the 5.2 with two cylinders lopped off. Not exactly sure off the top of my head,  but I'd imagine all you'd need is new engine mounts, wiring harness, and a few other things. Anyone else have any advice?

contact me I am interested in your v6 engine 3.9  

I am also considering swapping my 3.9 with a V8 but mine is a 88 4x4 how much trouble should I exp ect  

88dakota, I believe the V8s were only offered in the "long-nose" versions. You might have to change out your core support and front grille to accommodate a V8. Sorry I'm not more of a Mopar expert.  

I have a 98 Dakota With a $ cylinder - The engine took a dump - I would like to install A chevy V8 - Where could I get a kit or info about an engine swap?  

Try Turn Key Engine Supply. They're mostly the Gen-3 and 4 small-blocks. If you're looking for help with the older ones, there are a lot of other companies that do those.  

I own a 2001 3.9 dodge ram V6. im getting a 5.2 to swap it out with. will i need a new transmission or will it work with my V6 automatic i have now?  

I have a 1993 dakota sport x-cab with the 3.9 v-6 but i am wanting to put a sb 350 in the truck and was wondering where or who has done this before  

If you're sticking with a Mopar motor, it should be fairly straightforward. The 3.9 V6 is essentially the 5.2 with two cylinders hacked off. But if you're going with a Chevy engine, you might have to get some adapters and special wiring harnesses to make it work.  

Guys, check out DodgeTruckWorld.com. There are several guys on there have swapped out their engines for v8's including the hemi.

i own a 2002 dodge dakota 3.9l v6 and want to swap it for a v8 does anybody know where to get a kit and will i need to swap transmissions, i have the 5 speed manual now  

my 02 dodge ram 1500 needs a new 4.7 v8 engine but the prices are better for a 5.7 v8 engine ,will it still fit if i upgrade?  

5.7 or 5.9? 5.7 is the Hemi, the 5.9 isn't. I'd be surprised if the Hemi is cheaper than the 4.7, but I guess it's possible. If it's between the 5.7 Hemi and the 4.7, go for the Hemi, no contest!
