But wait! It get's better! Let's say you're REALLY cheap and have access to a machine shop. If thats the case, get the 96-00 Dakota 3.9L V6 bellhousing. It WILL take a big flywheel. It has the standard Mopar Small Block V8 pattern. Fab up your own Chevy to Mopar adpater plate like so...
Boy, I was young once! So, you want to do this on the cheap? If you're brave, maybe I can give you a few pointers. Let's give it a go. Cheap...
