New Mopar Performance RB transmission case

[choper]

Some time ago 440Ramcharger sent an email that said:-

"Just spoke with the local Mopar Performance Specialist working for Pitre Chrysler. He said Mopar Performance is working on an auto tranny case that will house all of the 4 speed internals with a lock up torque converter and 4 band clutch. This unit will bolt up to the B/RB engines! Case should be available in the fall/spring running around 2 bills. About time!"

Does anyone know any more about this case?

Later 440Ramcharger said "Kenny Newsome, the Mopar Performance Specialist working at Pitre Chrysler in Scottsdale, AZ gave me this info. He said the empty case will run roughly $200. You get a 518 and take the internals out, place in the new case bolt to your RB. Does anyone have connections to Chrysler in Detroit for more info and a timeline for release??

I live in the England - could anyone contact Kenny Newsome in Scottsdale or any one in Mopar Performance and find out what the latest state of play is?

No we dont think this case is #P4876565 found in the 2002 catalog.

I havn't heard this. Sounds real cool. There are companys out here that make adapter plates for a s/b trans to a r/b block. A bit expensive though.
