318/8 Speed Swap

Any progress on any of this?

I tripped over an outfit in Australia that is outfitting the 8HP's with a virtual clutch that locks up the TC and engages or disengages internal clutches progressively just like a real clutch. Looks pretty cool.

Also found out that the SGE kit allows for a Sport and Track mode shift schedule with the flip of a switch. That was new info to me.

Really makes me want to put an 8HP70 behind my 5.7 (or even better, a 6.4) and set it up for a drag and drive event. I could even see leaving the MDS in it and use an OEM PCM so that sport/track mode could disable it, but I could cruise the highway with it in use. Only real hang up is how to get cruise control to work through the PCM.
