Don't hold your breathe. A few years back I tried to order a "work special" stripper Dakota with a 5.9, 5 speed and 4.10 rear. Dealer said it was impossible to get the 5.9 and that this would be overkill for this truck. So... I tried to do it with the 5.2 but I had to get the fancy packages and could not get the 5 speed or 4.10. The price was also higher than some of the Ram trucks on the lot. I said "no way" and left. A few years later...the Dakota R/T appears with the 5.9! Still you could not get it as a stripper. Oh well, I bought a Jeep.
I doubt you will ever see the hemi in a stripper with a 5/6 speed, but we can dream! Maybe Chrysler will wake up in a few years. After all they are finally on the right track (RWD, hemi power).
