I could use some help on deciding a donor setup. The Dakota chassis is pretty well decided, what I'm a little torn on is the power plant. Everything inside me says keep it a Dodge and it would be the most cost effective using the Dakota 318 power train. My other option is the 'ol 5.3 swap. The only reason it crosses my mind is because of the 18-20 mpg that Rita gets running around, I really doubt the 318 will get close to that. Another option I'm not sure about is the Dodge 4.7. I haven't done much research on it but my local salvage guy that I get most stuff from won't even sell me one for it because he says it's such a POS. He said no engine that ends in a 7 from that vintage of Dodge is worth a crap. Any thoughts?Seth
