318/8 Speed Swap

None at the moment. Russ at Sound German Automotive continues to make progress on the swap. I know he was tearing in to the factory floor shifters this week to see exactly how they work.

A Cummins project has sidelined the 8-speed for me, but it’s still in the corner of the shop, waiting its turn.

That video show him running the trans with a cheap controller he made. Have no idea if it is true or not but seems real.
Fiat need to jump on this or even ZF out of Germany. They used this same trans ( Basic setup) with upgrades in the GT4 class at Neuenburg.
I believe they dropped the converter for a clutch. This trans is less than 200 lbs and can handle up to 750 ft lbs I think in the hp90 trim.
Googled 8 speed and got GM stuff engine and transmission controllers for swaps.
JESUS they R quick!!!!!
