My friend is trying to put a '93 rx7 rotary engine in his 2002 dakota. I don't think this will work. Can some one please tell me if in wrong or not.

I suppose it could work, but I doubt it will work well. Sounds absolutely crazy to me. The rotary is a great engine for a light vehicle, but it doesn't have the grunt to be a good truck engine. I can't imagine anyone trying this in a vehicle as new as a 2002 Dakota. What happened to the original motor? Hell, what happened to the warranty?

:unsure:



Last person I know that tried something like this was insane....

Am sure it will fit... bolt in doubt it... fit yes...



But why?



Find an older lighter import truck to drop this into... not a new dakota... that truck is just too heavy too new and should have a warranty and a good motor in it (as good as chrysler motor can be)
