Apparently, this is an issue even on B bodies. FBBO member Richard Cranium is building a 6.4 '70 Charger and had to notch the firewall to fit the 6.4 active intake.

Buy Good insurance, install BIG brakes and seat belts too.

One huge advantage? Smooth idle. Another? Double the fuel economy.

Pffft.... I have 347,000 on this truck. Never used synthetic oil either.

Not sure if this was directed at me but this one is a lockup type. The trans and converter look as if they were built yesterday. Very clean. It does need the controller to function though. I got this trans in a collection of parts. The prior owner has a 70 'Cuda and he switched to a 5 speed manual.

$750. I plan to list it here and elsewhere today.

Anyone that might be interested... I have a 518/46RH unit with a 3G HEMI flexplate, 618 internals, rebuilt and ran for a short time before switching to a 5 speed manual.

CAST valves? Uhhh...do you want to go back and edit that for accuracy?

Nope. That is the main reason that I have not seriously looked into swapping an 8 speed auto into one of my cars. The FCA group has a death grip on the electronics that nobody has been able to crack yet. The A8 is a huge transmission too, if the electronics can be figured out, you will need some...
