How much did something like this cost. I've been talking with my son about doing this same thing, and he keeps telling me it's gonna be way too expensive and too much work. I still wanna do it all depending on the price.

[@dallasdelare5764]

I want to do this to my Dakota so bad! Glad you guys are getting this opportunity!

[@korn111685]

This is main channel worthy.

[@Teeiay]

Indeed it is

[@BrOkEnSkAtEr1295]

Should be on the main channel

[@68Peeler]

Awesome project !! You make hemi swaps look easy.

[@perkmonty7712]

yeah he's not an asshole he didn't drag the build out with videos

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

Always wanted to do this to a 4WD/ AWD regular cab Dakota so it will hurt feelings at stoplights like the GMC Syclone.

[@markurbancowboy]

I remember back in the day they had the Dakota RT with the 5.9L Magnum in it, that was a nice truck. This truck with a 392 Hemi is gonna be wicked! 😁👍

[@dodgeman4046]

I'm doing a scat pack and 6 speed in a 72 d100 step side this series is going to be a huge help

[@Flashdrive43200]

I'm super excited to see this build progress. I have the body of a 51 dodge pickup that I wanna build on this generation of dakota frame/suspension with this power train combo, so this will be super helpful to see lol

[@jnp15x]

I definitely want to see more of this build!! I've seen it in the background of your Hellcat Instagram pics and wanted to see what you were doing to it! Love watching both of your channels! Keep it up!

[@MiguelMartinez-wp3th]

Could you by any chance make this set up drive by cable?

[@SnickersG-fu2pw]

MOPAR heaven...🐝

[@midwestlee-iw8nl]

cool build

[@claymillican25]

Yuuup that lowering kit gives ya the Carolina Squat 🤷‍♂️

[@royallion3925]

I know OnDGas was thinking of Hellcat swapping their Gen 1 ram and they said no one is really doing those swap. Maybe reach out to them and do some Mopar work for them!

[@gunnperformance2202]

Love what ya doing here. This will show all those S10 LS guys who the boss is! Haha! Can't wait to see it finished.

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Sounds like a cool project to me! This rig should haul the bacon too. Will factory issue SRT exhaust manifolds fit in there, or too snug? Thanks John!

[@synkraut9633]

I do electrical installations and one of the things I really don’t like is having to take over half finished projects - I was reminded of that when I saw all the things that were botched or not properly done on this car before you took over..

[@theejoeylee]

I worked at a Chrysler dealership in Wisconsin, and I haven't even seen a one-year-old truck that rust free. I want to know where you found that old Dakota! It looks brand new underneath!!! Unbelievable!.

[@efrensalinas6436]

Cool video. Lot of options to swap Ram and Dakotas. Love the content. Keep up the good work 👏 👍💪

[@xpsgamer87]

I would love to do this to my Dakota !

[@johnchrystal3140]

You do rad work whoever get ther car worked on by u are in great hands

[@wicked59rt]

It looks as though the front drop didn't go as low as it should have. May also have some worn rear leaf springs or R/T leafs on there. As you said, looks like a great project for the average sport truck types.

[@deathbusa]

Love the Dakota builds

[@martinmillett4800]

Damn southern trucks are in such nice shape. Its not fair lol

[@whf3826]

I installed a 4x4 leaf pack to correct the rear BellTech sagging issue on my 99 rt. That also allows me to have a decent towing capacity.

[@austin_94gt18]

@BoostedMotorsports can you do a 3rd gen ram hemi build next? Nobody does these buulds on 3rd gen rams. Would be cool to see your very professional and clean touch on a 3rd gen truck

[@thomasbeyer]

What radiator hoses did you use? I'm currently swapping my 99 RT with a 5.7 and a tr6060.

[@iceman45ification1]

I used to own a '95 Dodge Dakota, and as much as I loved it, it was a pain in the rear to drive. It was a pig since it had the 2.5 4 banger and 5 speed stick. Sometimes, I wish I would've kept it for a project like this.

[@obezzyjohnson9680]

Yes my dad n I had an 93 Dakota wit the 4banger n 5speed n yes I know exactly what utalkn bout when u say it was a pig n y'all believe him they def are slow pigs n plz DNT try to tow anything with it. I'm taking bout a car as small as a Civic n u will take 4ever to get to where u going n hope u DNT have to go up any hills if so u better speed up as much as u can b4 u get to Hill bcuz if not might have to go back to 2nd to make it n even with the speed u still gonna prolly have to go back to 3rd LMFAO. It was rough with the truck but it got the job done n didn't have to pay an wrecker to tow my shiiii or nun. But wit all the stuff the make for hemi now to swap em into different cars n all I wish I still had it n also bcuz my dad is no longer with us now he is in heaven with my mom. But would've been nice to have fixed it up wit a up to date motor to put in it n have all the power u would ever need n especially if u thru an ol super charger on dat bad boy

[@iceman45ification1]

@obezzyjohnson9680 yeah you know exactly what I mean. Lol. Sorry to hear about your dad. Would've been a cool project for you and him to work on.

[@clintbailey8220]

Dude that's awesome, I'm down to swap my truck and keep the manual trans.

[@615theBuzzard]

Just found this channel. Cool build 👍👍

[@timbrwolf1121]

Please do a gen 1 next. Something rare like a Mark III or a lil red. Also if you rear mount the battery along with a rear mount turbo. Not only is it a more budget friendly turbo setup, but the extra weight over the axle is worth its weight in gold in these light pickups.

[@chriskalman4555]

This is awesome, could be a business model for you. I've got a 2002 (bought new in '02) 4x4 Dak quad SLT with an ailing 4.7 and I'm certain I will not be going back with the 4.7. Having a shop able to preform these swaps and not hacked would definitely be an option I would look into.

[@derekprice5510]

Watching this one with lots of interest. I have a 8spd ready to swap into my Hemi 02 Dakota. I also have a 6.4 from a SRT Jeep that I might swap into it too.

[@danmitchell1665]

I have been considering a 5.7 in a gen one Dakota for a daily. I was looking for a playlist of the Hellcat Dakota. I wanted to see how you put the Viper brakes. Is there a specific playlist or was the Viper brake upgrade included in a video with a lot of other things being done. I have watched a bunch trying to find it. I do like this build.

[@turbo2ltr]

Did I miss what that rear is out of? I've been wanting to do read disc conversion on my 01 dakota. Ordered a conversion kit and for three months they said it was going to ship "next week" so I cancelled.

[@zrksi]

thats cool. coworker of mine has a 6.2 hemi 6sp swapped 88 Dakota

[@TxHammer757]

Oil leak looks like it's coming from the rear of the valve cover. In your video you can see the oil trail above the starter

[@ReignitedAuto]

This one is going to be awesome 💪

[@berniefarringtonjr453]

love it wish you could do a 6 speed manual with it ! maybe the next one ?

[@Jamk14]

Currently have a dakots with a tired 318. Need to do this

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

another cool build...

[@winstonemerson2439]

Loving this.Great work!

[@crankshaft-rf1nh]

How was that rear end bolt on top of the leaf spring, that's a Durango thing. All my Dakota's are bolted to bottom of springs and my Durango's are mounted on the top....

[@blownaway4371]

Just brought home a '01 Dakota 2.5 base. Wanted to either go big block 451, or gen-3 5.7. (Those hemi's are pretty expensive here!) Whats the year cut-off for the 9.25 to fit and just bolt in??

[@Floreypottery]

Something I’d love to Do on the old r/t Dakota

[@jonasgarage513]

The color is nice would look good with crome srt8 wheels to match the crome pieces

[@ludemurillo8836]

With that 6.4 swsp, can you still use the column shifter from the dakota or do you have to convert to floor shifter???

[@shanesmith8757]

You should turbocharge this one 🔥🤙🏻

[@kylew7930]

I’m psyched for this!!!

[@Crazyryder209]

Im a dodge Dakota owner but this is awesome

[@RayPresseau]

Excellent tutorials. I'm going to do the 5.7 hemi into a 04 2wd dakota . I bought the holley mounts and crossmember exhaust manifolds but I'm looking at my oil pan now . The 5.7 hemi I bought is a 2021 ram hemi with rear sump . My question is will it fit or do I need the holley pan . Thank you and keep the info rolling much appreciated

[@RayPresseau]

Holly oops

[@txgaspimp9321]

Keep rocking them out

[@Wunna_V]

Man this is awesome a NA truck that’s gonna be killer

[@ronaldmoparornocar9590]

👍👌✌️ I have heard that the 6.4/392 don't like boost I don't know how true it is but seen one blown up and it put the piston sideways in the bore after the connecting rod snapped. Should be interesting for sure 👍

[@kevinclevenger8741]

Man you build killer trucks .I would love to see you build a jeep grand Cherokee wj with a hemi .

[@Daytona-fr7fx]

I've been waiting for this one since you first mentioned it. I do have a question, someone asked me yesterday at a car show what the 'cap' is for on the rear passenger side of the intake. I'm sure it's a "dealer use only" type thing, but what's it's purpose? Something for the oil recirc.? The 5.7, and 6.4 motors have it, the oil catch cans use the hose that comes off it.

[@jonahbynum7139]

Man you should do 5.0 swap in dodge it will be first dacoyote

[@stuartstuart866]

Your content is interesting, but I really like the truck projects that you do. I’m curious if have you done builds where you just bulletproof a pretty much stock truck by addressing the factory shortcomings?

[@justswapit-jsi-8911]

Is the Holley system running the 8speed

[@MiguelMartinez-wp3th]

Same thing I asked too and no response

[@rubencolon7169]

What year differential did you swap it out with and does it bolt right in

[@derickhorne713]

That axle is found on 03 and 04 Dakotas

[@lilsprite05]

is there another newer dash that can fit in a 06 dodge mega cab... possibly with the uconnect 8.4

[@chuckswhip]

WERE U FIND A RUST FREE TRUCK LIKE THAT THA FRAME LOOKS BRAND NEW 😮

[@gundorethemighty]

i always wanted to do a hemi swap in my ole school d250 short wheel base truck . or my d150 short wheel base truck . but just seems to be alot of work . an i do not want to put in a LS swap . did one in my C10 chevy an it was a nightmare . only cause i was sent the wrong parts over an over .

[@randomstuff159]

man I wish I could get a kota that clean all the ones in my area are rotted to hell and back love the bodystyles but they are either rotted or they where stuffed with bondo when it was originally starting to rust like mine is

[@danhoy8356]

Been looking into those metal type buildings.. wondering what size you have? 30x60?

[@boostedmotorsports2]

Close! 30x50

[@claytonhaske]

What vehicle did the 9.25" rearend come ouf of?

[@iquad1234]

I wanna do this but I have to run it on a factory manifold and ecu if I want to do it in California

[@allenanthony9798]

Keep up the good work

[@michaeleddie791]

I’m in Florida as well I have a Shelby Dakota I was thinking of doing a swap lmk. Where I can message you.

I’m looking to put a scat pack engine and trans in a 71 charger. Any input?

[@tgtshirts1]

OK nice. Thumbs UP !!

[@Dwillztx]

Is it possible to keep original scat pack cluster?

[@visforvendetta910]

what's the color of that truck? nice color.

[@Lil_Taco]

Do a ford 8.8 swap only thing you need to change are the spring perches

[@jacobjackson1865]

Freaking love this

[@danielrobles4069]

How much do you charge to make the swap?

[@adamferzo3173]

I got a 2003 ram 5.7 I'm trying to 6.4 swap. Any advice?

[@code10garage94]

Cool project!!👍🏽…Aloha 🤙🏽

[@johnnycarr9935]

Can you do this swap to a newer Dakota?

[@daveybealmear2855]

I wish you would do a D150 build

[@boomhaure03]

this is going to be🔥🔥🔥

[@rogue_5508]

Is it possible to toss this motor in and keep my 4x4 45rfe trans?

[@anthonygalicia4377]

Can this be done with a 4 door?

[@reyesa0221]

Can it be the same step on a 3rd gen ram

[@officialctgkeenan4236]

Can you do a hemi swap on a Dodge Avenger

[@brooklynpaigeswagg]

Where are you getting these clean dakota

[@andydemarest1973]

How is that thing so damn clean wow definitely not from up north

[@simonmarcantel4932]

Been done with a hellcat redeye motor

[@boostedmotorsports2]

I guess you haven’t seen our HellKota

[@MiguelMartinez-wp3th]

@@boostedmotorsports2someone always hating brother ask him if he even knows about swaps other than watching them on his phone

[@jonscriffignano]

i thought the projects i had were alot boosted just getting project after project 😂

[@richardliddle6442]

I’m pretty sure both axles are 9.25 I’m pretty sure all the second gen trucks come with factory 9.25 the 1st gen trucks had 8.25 now that other rear might have a better ratio the sport model trucks with 318 factory have 3.92 9.25

[@meenie79]

The round cover means it's the smaller unit or 10 bolt. They made them with the 10 bolt all the way to 2011.

[@codycleveland2853]

holley/hooker is discontinuing all these swap parts. theyre having a fire sale right now too. so if you need parts grab them now

[@Dingleberry454]

Why not go manual ?

[@Mr1bigsal]

Is it for sale or the hellcat

[@boostedmotorsports2]

Hellcat Dakota has a few collectors offering six figures

[@crankshaft-rf1nh]

I've got several Dakota's and Durango's that need hellcat or demon swapped...

[@YamahaYz250]
