["Richard Cutter" <dmc_power@xxxx>]

Greetings...

We are not doing the automatic at this time becouse of three things...
1 -The automatic is not an overdrive unit with proper gearing for this 
engine... Too high RPM at highway speeds....
2 - It does not have a lockup torque converter. Heat generation can be a 
major problem...
3 - The automatic will not last long with this HP and torque..

Yes we had it at St. Lewis last month... Total of 5035 miles in two 
weeks...
