Swapping the transmission of the 3.6 liter with the 2.0 liter seems a good start!
(or swapping the 3.6 engine with a 2,0).
First gear will still be ok.
Most of the time, if you can start in 2nd gear with stock gears, there will be no problem.

A VW beetle, with only 45HP and 4 gears, is a lot harder to start from a dead stop.

It's got plenty of torque down low, and the car is very light. should be possible to do...

You'd think that this is a popular swap, since most people want faster acceleration (which the 2.0 transmission would offer).
