Dakota R/T:
-cam/lifters
-52mm or 53 mm throttle body
-tires
-1:7 full roller rockers
-underdrive pulleys
-TIRES
-have my intake manifold machined to spec with a Mopar M1 intake manifold
-drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk pads (front
-TIRES
-MAYB port/polish the heads (this would requre taking OFF the heads, which would requre taking OFF the headers and putting them back ON with the engine still in the truck…not something i really wanna do anytime soon.)
-fix the little coolant leak from the thermostat (leaks mayb a shotglass of coolant every 1800 miles or so)
-o, did i mention I WANT NEW TIRES?!?!?!?!
all of the above (with the exception of the tires, which i already have money set aside for) can be done for about $1100, which i think is totally doable. i have nowhere to work on it over the winter, so it might be June untill i get it out for next summer but o well.
o and if im feeing adventurous, i may do some investigating into whats up with my transmission, or i could just wait untill that takes a shit for good (o, believe me, its gonna happen!!) and then spend another $1500 for a brand new build one thats made to hold decent ammounts of power.
