I am looking for any additional information on what is required to do a late model swap. I already have the 5.7 Hemi and Transmission and complete original harness and would like to add a supercharger during the system. Any information would be helpful or a link to another thread with information.

There is a MUCH better, more populated forum on modern swaps into B Bodies on FBBO. TONS of info and advice. One thing I will tell you right now....if you intend on using the factory harness with a NAG1 (w5a580) automatic 5 speed you better figure out how to transfer the tone rings and speed sensors onto your axle or you will end up buying all new computers for BOTH units!
Read my thread http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/showthread.php?1121-B-Body-stiffening

On the last several pages there are many entries regarding this issue.

Here is a link to the forum with the swaps.

Folks on Moparts don't seem to be as interested in these swaps.

New harness ties into your existing harness in only four places.

Sure wish this system had been available 2 years ago! If it was, it was not very well promoted and I KNOW I looked at this site in my research.
I would absolutely do this, knowing what I know now.
