I am also debating if I should box in the rest of the frame. What do you guys think?? I would like to get this truck into the low 12's possibly high elevens.
PS this Dakota is a 87 2wd long box

No need to box the frame in. The stroker will out aaccelerate teh 440 due to lighter weight internals giving you a bigger advantage even if both have the same hp. Also less weight on the front of the truck which hampers weight transfere that causes traction probs. As for a rad I'll sell you a new Griffin cross flow for 205 and a 15.5 puller fan for at 2450 cfm too. Let me know if interested.
