2012 Pentastar V6 and 8 speed tranny for an A-body

[drewmac]

I just drove a 2012 Chrysler 300 and was REALLY impressed with the V6 and 8 speed transmission. Has anyone thought about doing a swap of this combination into an A-body. I would think the performance would be great (the 300 does 60 in 7.5 seconds) and 28+ mpg would not hurt. The V6 in the Challenger is 305hp and an A-body would be almost 1000 lbs lighter.
I just wanted to put this up for discussion. Don't get me wrong. I would rather have a Gen 3 hemi, but just wanted to get other opinions.

:axe:

All those wires and fuel system and sensors, computer's is my only complaint.
I have to work on my own engine and this old fart would like to keep running down the road if something just quit I do agree it is a nice light system and it would send my 2.700 lb 66 plymouth down the track and be in the 8.0 class on an 1/8 mile track my even get 7.50
I want an aluminum rear end that will handle a 400 hp car.
This does make me scratch my head a bit.

Ya it would be cool, but more work and cost for less performance and the new Hemi's get similar mileage anyway.

the transmission is huge, imagine the amount of floor cutting involved; then you need to get a stand alone computer to control the transmission because there all electronic
