What years Dakota or will any with the 4.7 V8 work ?????
This is good to know as I thought the 4.7 and HEMI had different bellhousing bolt patterns !!

My understanding from talking to Dan at Burnsville before I decided to go with the AEV kit was that the 4.7 and the hemi's shared the same bolt pattern for the bell housing. You should give Dan a call if your going with a manual trans. I've always been a manual trans guy but I actually like the 5-45RFE behind the hemi in my Jeep.

It might work, I would still talk to someone like Dan or the guys at Screamin lizard who have actually done the manual trans with hemi conversion on a JK to see what kind of issues there might be.

If you go with a 6.1L or 6.4L Hemi you don't get the MDS feature like the 5.7L Hemi. I have seen several LX forum members place on the Paxton supercharger on a Magnum/Charger/300C and gain the extra +90HP and still have better fuel economy with the MDS vs the 6.1L Hemi as well.....a few still ran with 89 Octane vs the +91 Octane the 6.1 and 6.4L Hemi's required.

true. but I talked to camp when I was in the show last week. he told me a manual will not work! I know I know i'm bitchin abt the trany
but really thats what I want
do I need a super charger. No I don't! with eaither engine, I will have enough power to move the Jeep.
It's just standing out. and It will be used on sand dunes as well. so I could use it for that.
