I'm just getting into rat rods and have some questions. I am trading some work for a 1991 Dodge Dakota with the 3.9l non-magnum engine. Thought this could possibly make a good start to a project. Generally my mechanical knowledge is fairly limited.
Would this frame work for a build? My wants for a body are an old vw, either a type 1 beetle or type 3 square back.
Are there performance mods and parts available for the 3.9? As the truck sits it doesn't run because of a bad ECM. Could this be bypassed and made a non computer engine?
Any help and suggested reading would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Andrew
