I needed a rear exit shifter with the new elephant pretty much eliminating any possibility of running a shifter cable through the engine compartment.

I ordered the one for use with a blanket and it flat out won't fit. It hits the floor and required so much trimming that it compromised the structure. Even after my hack job the bolt holes won't align up due to the cast transmission pan. Absolute junk in my opinion. I wrestled with the idea if Sh%&-canning the entire shifter set up, but JBODY replied to my "help" post with a really cool idea for a bracket (apparently I'm not the only one with this problem). Here's my "junk" solution; I hope it helps others. I went off the top of the rear "ear" of the transmission (JBODY went under). I don't think it matters as long as the cable doesn't bind. "All-in-all" I hit all gears and PARK smoothly with no binding. If you order PPP, buy the cheapest bracket possible as it is just used as a template for your fab work (still kind of pi$$ed about that one). My PPP "help" thread.

I did some research for both NA and Nitrous and there is a lot of support for the combination. I'm going to give it hell and see what it runs before I second guess MM. I modified the Air Grabber Air Cleaner to work with the new Thumper Carb today. I'll post some pics tomorrow or Saturday when the new Glasstek hood arrives!

I posted the question on here before, but didn’t get any replies from people that tried it.

Both MoparBilly and Monte gave me some pointers via PM(s) on this board and the old MoparChat, but I'm no expert. This new Hemi stands a chance of pushing my car to the limits of the chassis without nitrous. No-Prep 8th mile racing is getting popular out here in AZ. I'm keeping the old nitrous set up on the car until I see how it runs.
