Dan,
The 440 will drop right in, as some of the Power Wagons had them until 1978. You need a rear sump oil pan, the right motor mounts, possibly a different water pump. As for the starter, the mini is the way to go. Either get an aftermarket one or get a factory starter for a 90s Dakota. All the starters interchange from slant 6 all the way through 440, so no worries there. Other than that, its a simple bolt in....
