5.7 L Hemi, ZF 8HP70 Swap

This thread appears to have gone a little of topic. As far as the 8 speed auto goes, it is probably the most significant factor in turning the late model V6 cars from 9+ second 0-60 mph cars into something closer to 7 seconds and almost on par with the old 5 speed auto 5.7 hemi cars. That said the 6.1 with a 5 speed auto will fun 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds with a 5 speed auto in a late model luxury barge. Getting the 8 speed to work will be the biggest challenge, even the old 5 speed is more work than most people care to undertake.

I agree. I'll shut up with the LS crap. Anyways, with regards to the 8 speed connected to the 5.7L, your one of your issues is going to reside with there are no bellhousings available. The current 3.6L has a different bolt pattern, so to say, than the Hemi's. You may need a bellhousing adapter plate in order to get them to fit together. On top of that, one of the main reason why they didn't attach the 8 speeds to the hemi's sooner was because it couldn't handle the torque. After you have them mated, your next problem will probably be with getting a computer to get them interacting properly.

Lucky enough, 2015 brings Hemi's and 8 speeds together for almost all models. So in 3-5 years from now, they may be common enough to find on CL.
