Glad to see it in the classification guide.
Too bad it was rated at 260 hp. Should have been 230 hp, IMO.

That combo needs at least 350 flywheel hp to barely run the K/SA index.
Looks do-able, but won't be easy because there is almost zero aftermarket support.
Long tube headers are available, but that's about it.
Not sure if any aftermarket EFI systems will work on that engine.
For now it would have to be the factory ecu.

That bellhousing bolt pattern might be a challenge for PA transmissions or some other bellhousing maker to mate the C-4 up to it.
I believe the 3.5 Ecoboost V-6 has the same bolt pattern., so the investment from them might be worth it.

That engine looks like an 8,000 rpm screamer with the right valve springs.
Deep rear gears and a deep 1st gear might be the ticket.
Lightweight 4500 plus stall convertor ?

Or.... a Jerico trans with a custom bellhousing ?

I have been researching the 3.7 and cannot find much info on it.

Looks like a fun combo once you get past the EFI system and C-4 bellhousing issues.
