6.1 Hemi and Trans swap into Power Wagon

I have a 79 Power Wagon and I can get a 6.1 Hemi out of an SRT8 Charger for cheap. I know the engine will bolt right in with new mounts my question is about the trans - is it capable of towing and if not what mods would I need to do ??

Thanks Moparts!!

The biggest problem is the car trans does not use a yoke. (picture attached) Getting the electronics to work could be an issue as well. The new transmissions are also very large comparably. A truck transmission from behind a 5.7 should be a direct bolt up if you are wanting the overdrive and I am sure could handle towing, but is also large although electronic controllers are available. Otherwise it is much easier to use the older small block transmissions.

I wish I had that problem. I think I'd make it work. You'd probably have plenty of room in the tunnel for the trans, although I don't know if it would handle any towing. Maybe get a trans from a truck??
