The more I think about it, I'd rather have the torque down low for the Monty than the turbo motor. I have the tranny set up worked out and built to handle 300 ft lbs with the 2.85 low range. I can bolt up either a 3.9 mopar or a 318 to the tranny. both have rear sump oil pans. Has anyone put a V8 in there?
