A Dodge V10 will bolt right in wherever a Dodge small block V8 (318/360) will bolt in. Swapping a V10 into a full size half ton Ram is actually pretty simple, since it's got the same chassis wiring harness as a 3/4 or 1 ton. Now a Durango/Dakota obviously has a different chassis wiring harness than a full size truck, so wiring the V10 harness into the Durango is going to be a challenge. You -might- need a custom oil pan, too. And you'll have to use heavy duty springs, because that engine is very heavy. Also, the engine is longer, so you might have issues with fan clearance, and front accessories. Should run like a scalded dog if you do the swap, though. The V10 trans will not bolt to a V8 engine, and vise versa.

No, they will not fit. It is a clearance problem when turning the wheel from stop to stop.
