because i do not yet have the skills/time/money to do the full swap i have planned for my B2 im planning on making what i do have last longer until i can compile what i need for the future so what im thinking is to rebuild/refurb the 2.8 that's in it now and update it with a new carb/ignition to get rid of teh crappyness that is the stock set up.
im not sure how much it would be because it depends on the source of the stuff but should be around a few hund(400-500?) that's VS the cost of the swap, that is going to be over 700+ as the headers for the GTP-40 5.0 are 700 alone plus the cost of the engine/D35/8.8 ect a project like that takes time and the trucks out of service longer
the reason i want to get it back up and healthy is so that i know its a safe bet if the Jeep or Dakota goes down and who knows whats lurking in that engine waiting to go wrong.
