There is a huge difference in Dakota engines from '87 to the 1992 and later versions.....up til '91 they used a TBI fuel injection system with a carburated style wet intake and the '92 and later version have the newer "beer barrel" style SMPI fuel injection system....I have worked on both and the '92 - '96 is a decent package....the '95 & '96 have a higher lift cam spec....1st Gen Dakota body style stopped in 1990....2nd went from 1991 to 1996 so you could build a magum motored (V6 or V8) using this body, claim it as a '95 or '96 for the bigger cam and either a 3.9,5.2 or 5.9 engine.......
