Crossfire 6-speed boxes are popular for owners of M113 engines because they're a direct bolt-on. So if I'm talking about a 90-degree Dodge v6 with this MB transmission, why not talk about the Mercedes M112, or even better, the M113, instead? But those won't fit into the car easily so it's a no-go.

AA:
The Dodge V6s are
60-degree engines; that was the point of mentioning them; they are narrower than most OHC V8s.
For good performance "feel", displacement is the thing, hence the 302 Ford. It is about 24" across the exh. manifolds.
