Dodge/Ram Dakota production ends tomorrow

August 22, 2011
Sales of the Dakota were slipping long before the Ram brand split away from the Dodge brand but as both the Dakota and the larger Ram 1500 have evolved over the past 2 decades, the larger truck has improved while the mid-sized Dakota has really... The Dakota had sporty models like the Shelby Convertible versions and the R/T performance models which the smaller stature of the Dakota making for a great sport truck platform. Diaz pointed out that with the most recent generation of the Dakota, there was just too much competition between the two Ram branded pickups and the Dakota was clearly losing the battle. Tomorrow afternoon, Chrysler’s Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Michigan will send the last Dakota pickup down the line and while rumors suggested that it would quickly be replaced, new reports suggest that Chrysler has put the development of the... Unfortunately, as the Dakota aged it became larger, less powerful and less of a sport truck. At the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, I had a...

Im pretty new to this but could drop a motor in and out with some people who are a little better then me. (asked by Rowen G on February 09, 1057)
A: when you get this car done i will race you at granite city for fun i have a charger,roadrunner ,gtx,dart (answered by Hoody on February 09, 4616)
A: there is quite a bit you can do.Problem is finding the parts.
I race a Shelby Charger on the ice and my brother runs a GLH Omni.
My Charger has turbo II rods out of a 2.5L turbo Caravan with TRW non-turbo pistons.
It has an intake of a 2.2L Dakota and the stock carb is rejetted and the airhorn is shaved off.The secrets are in the cylinder head.I run a ported "g" head(the same head that should be on your car now) and a .499 lift camshaft.The head has been planed 220 thousandths and runs a VW 1.8l timing belt which is 1 tooth shorter and i use square tooth pulleys.I use an off the shelf Mopar turbo head gasket and an equal length tube header i found on ebay.The computer is a spare from my brother's GLH (87) and the motor is pro assembled,balanced and blueprinted.The motor makes 233 hp at the flywheel on 110 octane racing fuel.I shaved 7lb.s off the flywheel and run a three disk clutch.It's all good for well over 130mph on the top end without a turbo but if the motor so much as hiccups it's all over.
Like i said the problem is the parts are getting hard to find now.Alot of the parts in my car are hand me downs from my brothers GLH.The guy that made the camshafts for us died 2 years ago.
We are both switching to Neon's next year because the parts are abundant.Those 2.2L and 2.5L are a dying breed.
Your best bet is to find a Turbo doner car and swap out the drive train and the computer.If you can scounge up the parts i mentioned you can build a decent motor.
Good luck (answered by jordan95 on February 09, 6155)
Q:
How much is a 1986 Dodge Shelby Daytona worth?
I have one that has turbo and one that doesnt both same year. They just need new engines but what i want to know is how much are they worth normally? (I'm a chevy fan and against dodges so :) cant wait for the new camaro to come out) (asked by DJK on February 26, 2008)
A: The Daytona was a glorified K-car, Carroll Shelby stuck his name on them because of his relationship with Lee Iacocca and he needed to pay for a heart transplant. It had awesome power compared to what was available in it's day, but since it leaned on the turbo so much they tended to trash blowers and engines at a pretty healthy rate. Not going to be remembered as one of the classic H/O Dodges. Put them in an auto-trader as a pair and get what you can, they were less than 15k brand new. (answered by cessna0518 on February 26, 2008)
A: They both in really good condition may be worth 1000 dollars a piece. (answered by belgrademitch on February 26, 2008)
Q:

it's been sitting a few years, any input would be greatly appreciated, like where i can find an injector harness or where is a good source of parts. It would also be great to know where to go to find specs, and general info.
