My idea is finding a cheap Dodge Dakota, manual, between 1997-2004. Once the truck is found, i would like to swap the gas engine out with a Cummins 3.9L 4BT. After doing a few (countless) hours of research, the *NV4500* seems to be the best bet for what i am doing. (senior project)
What sort of things will i need to get the NV4500 and the 4BT to "play nice"? I'm figuring I'm going to need a flywheel for the engine. For the transmission end, i've figured out i will need a bell housing, anything in between there i'm lost at. (torque converter?, clutch?, keebler elves?) I haven't even asked the question of how to hook everything up.
I'm hoping that since i'll be converting a manual truck to a manual truck, i will be able to keep some components i.e. clutch pedal, etc. I do not know what will go or stay.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks anyone
