72 Dart Swinger 3.6L Pentastar +T5

The goals for the car is to be a driver but as a frequent Autocrosser, the thing has to handle.
So to that end, moving the weight distribution back by taking as much weight off the front of the car was a priority.

As the title suggest, I'm wanting to go with a new 3.6L Pentastar V6.
Believe it or not, pulling the shell back through the hills of Southern MO, our 3.6L in our Caravan got ~18mpg and didn't even break a sweat, lol.

Pros:

1. It's different. 3G Hemi swap have been done to death
2. 1/2 the Weight of a iron small block.(2011-2014 are ~330lb, +2015 ~325lb)
3. 5,000,000 produced as of 2015, so they're more than plentiful.
4. 11" Shorter than a V8--shifting its lighter weight off the front axle for even better weight distribution.
5. 300hp at the crank Stock is certainly respectable.
6. FLAT Torque Curve. It makes +250ft-lb from way down at 1800rpm all the way through 5400rpm
7. Flex Fuel and Port injection allows some flexibility in the fuel system while avoiding the complication of Direct Injection when adding Boost.

I picked up this 2013 3.6L out of a Wrangler. It had everything included with it except that auto trans shown. It had the alternator, A/C, PS, PCM, Engine AND Body Wiring, even the A/C and Radiator Hoses. In retrospect, I should have grabbed the Bellhousing off that auto trans but more on that later.
