Maybe it's time for a Racer to step up and prove that "Chrysler transmission engineer" wrong.

When we did the Monte Carlo, (3.4 V6 , 3300# , high 13's) I had decided to use a 125 C 3 speed, rather than the electronic OD.
The 125 started life in a 1980 4 cylinder Citation ( X car).
It never failed us at the track, but it tended to wear out final drives.
It was a bunch of work,.. having to fabricate mounts, a bracket for the TV cable ,and a custom right hand axle of the appropriate length.
If the earlier Mopar transaxle is close to a bolt -in deal, I'd go that way.
If not, the later one could probably be controlled by a series of switches. Clutch apply could be firmed up, I would think.
Light car , 4 cylinder shouldn't cause a lot of grief in that department.
