Honestly, if I were to start a new build that was a cruiser, I'd use the 4L80 trans with a G3. The 4L80 is easy to control with a Holley, and you don't have to deal with all the silly nuances the modern Chrysler transmissions have. The biggest ones being you have to use the factory shifter and then there's only 1 company that supports the control system from a stand alone prospective. Let's not forget the aftermarket support for the 4L80.
