5.7 L Hemi, ZF 8HP70 Swap

Yeah, computers tend to be the issue nowadays. So many systems are starting to get tied together into one computer that's it's hard to transplant a powertrain with independent control. Just about every car now has wheel speed sensors for ABS/Traction control, body control modules that run windows/doors/maybe even gauges, etc. If you want to pull a modern powertrain you almost need to pull ever wire out of the donor car as well, at least until someone comes up with aftermarket solutions.

Yep, I put a transmission in a gm late model and it took more time to get the updates in the ecm and tcm modules than it took to swap the trans, then you have to do a re-learn with a scan tool after the modules are flashed with the latest software.
Fords are worse yet, if you don't re-program after a transmission swap, It will burn it up in a few miles.
Mopars are the worst, I have heard that even dealership level is having problems with re-flashing .

I would go with a 4l80e if I was doing an auto swap, handles mega power and aftermarket support for the electronics available.
