No more drums to be found here! I swapped in some 12" rear discs last summer. Now connected via Hel Performance braided stainless lines to match the front.

So many custom touches. Sick Truck!

Thank you!
After years of threatening to do so, I finally bit the bullet and purchased a Hemi for the Dakota. These are the photos from the seller's site, but I'll share more images when it arrives.
It's a 392 Hemi attached to a Tremec TR6060 6-speed out of a 2018 Challenger. It's rated at 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque, but it'll have a bit more than that by the time it's in the truck and running. It's complete, damage-free, and has less than 60K on it. Holley has developed a whole bunch of goodies that will make this a bolt-in swap, but I'll still need to order a custom driveshaft, fabricate the clutch hydraulics, make a new intake, potentially have some headers made, new exhaust, and probably a few dozen other things I haven't even considered yet. Nevertheless, I'm very excited to effectively double the power output of this truck.
I also believe I'm going to have to change the shifter to a mid-mount setup, on top of the transmission instead of the Challenger's extended linkage setup. The truck is a bit smaller than the Challenger and it looks to me like the current linkage will extend too far back, but I won't know for sure until I take some measurements when it arrives. There are a few companies that offer conversion kits, most of which also offer short shift options that I will definitely take advantage of, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
That was an unexpected turn! Love it
Getting shifters to line up is such a fun game /s. I really didn't enjoy it in my swap project.
