I can't help you on which engine will specifically work, but of course a direct replacement will be the best bet for the amount of time, effort and cost. Installing any other engine not OEM is custom work. you will need to do some research if others have done any similar swaps. Check out some online Dakota forums. But when installing a different size engine you could have to also swap out the transmission and driveshaft, wiring harness, exhaust, ECM etc. So it's how much do you have to spend?
