what transmission to use with new hemi 5.7

I am using a NV3500 out of a Dodge Dakota in my Coronet behind my 5.7. I made my own motor mounts and trans cross member mount and didn't have to cut the floor or cross member to make it fit. The trans is comperable in strength to a T-5 but at $400 for the trans with a built in bell housing you can run it without having to mod your car and when it dies you will have saved for a T-56. At least thats my plan.

I don't have it up and running yet (still doing body work) but I plan to use a stock flywheel from a 2500 series ram ($83) Stock clutch for the same application (same spline count as the NV4500) and the stock Dakota clutch parts. Basically I'll be into the whole setup for less than the cost of a bell housing and clutch for the other swaps and be banging gears with OD and should be running 1800 rpm at 70 on the highway.

FYI these trannies can be pulled from behind a v8 in a dakota from 96-04 but beware, 00-04 don't have a speedo output so if you want to run the cable get a 96-99 trans.
