Agree, that`s what would stop me from it , or a late hemi -------I`d want the 8 speed to go w/ it, I had a 4 speed/440 RT once, and don`t give a dam about shifting one after that , was a pain in the *** in the city !
I'm a truck driver so shifting doesn't bother me...too much. My 05 Cummins has a 6spd and it's a pain in LA traffic. My Valiant is 4spd, so it's staying manual. I have a complete 5.7 Hemi with a 5spd auto sitting in storage. The wiring for that is not too bad because of the company's that do it. But that 3.6 has a ton of wiring with no aftermarket support. I think a 3.6 turbo 5spd setup would be great for my Valiant
