>This should be interesting............ standing by..........

Oh he cant get too mad at me for asking...because...I used a Yellow Dot Circle guy laying on his back and laughing hysterically...How can you get mad at that?!?!?

It must be great having guys lining up with cash in hand and wanting to give him some money for the products he sells?!?!?

Any updates on this one Dave?  Looks like it will fit without cutting if something can be done with the dipstick tube.  How is the controller coming?

Any updates Chris?  Are you guys using the new shifter or will it be possible to use an old "slap stick" style shifter in the old console?

Hi Guys,

I am still studying the install of a 6.4 Hemi with the NAG1 into a Barracuda.

Right now I am searching for a low mileage donor engine and transmission.

My car has a center console and the slap stick shifter.  I have the following questions:

1.  How much transmission tunnel work is need to mount the NAG1?

2. Who has solved the shifter to stock center console mating/adapting?

3.  Has a wire harness been developed that controls the engine and transmission?

4.  The front engine mounts are easy (from what I see on the web) however the rear transmission mount will need fabrication -OR- perhaps someone is making them now?

5.  Stock speedometer.  Is there a module that converts the speedo needle movement from mechanical to digital input?

Any pictures or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have a NAG1 with 3200 miles out of an '10 Challenger SRT. If you are interested, PM me.

So I was whiskey talking not too long ago about building a light weight first gen A body and using a supercharged 3.6L Pentastar V6, just because. One of the questions was the transmission, manual would be the obvious choice but the NAG1 comes with the v6 as well. The hurdle was controlling the NAG1. I suppose the internals are the same between  the v6 and Hemi?  I know bolt patterns are different but this should work ... Right?
