Dakota engine specs

[Jdunham]

I am looking for a chart or some other resource giving more detailed engine specs than many websites seem to offer. Idealy this would cover several years. I am looking for the basics such as displacement, peak power (@rpm), peak torque (@rpm), but also some more obscure details. these include the connecting rod length, intake and exaust valve diam, the intake and exause valve lift, and the brake specific fuel consumption.

I am just starting out with some engine work of my own and am looking into a project to run a vehicle on carbon monoxide (who likes paying for gas). The design of the CO gas generator is dependant on the flow-rate demanded by the engine and I need the above specs to determine it.

the years i am most interrested in are 1982-1990, and the smaller engine is best, the inline-4.

Anyone got any ideas? I have been searching for a while now with no luck on my end.

I woud think that once you have an idea of the displacement, you could look up any Dodge spec for that engine's displacement...not necessarily that of a Dakota. But an all-in-one book with those numbers I think will have to be found out through sheer effort.

find your answers yet?? if not, i may have them in my Chilton book, all the specs for my '92 and '95 318's were in there, let me know, i'll dig out the book if you still need them
