(Correct if wrong.) i shouldnt need a new trans or powertrain components right?
I hate to sound like a broken record, but the advice everyone has been giving you is 100% correct. These are some incredibly smart people. You may be extremely attached to your current xfire (heck arn't we all?) but the amount of money that you are going to end up pouring into this "project" will easily buy you a nearly mint srt6 (probably one still under warranty) last i looked 17500 - 19000. plus you have to remember that after spending all that money on a conversion, it may never be just right. Gremlins have a way of being very persistent on this kind of project. just my 2 cents. that being said, good luck on the project and welcome to the forum (you will need us if you go through with this!!!)
