This is awesome news. I have a Nag1 behind a 5.7 in my 70 GTX. I am using a transmission computer designed abnd programmed by Russell and it is awesome! Great news for the 8 speed swap folks!

Wonderful news. The 8 speed sounds like an awesome transmission. Gear ratios: 1 4.71 2 3.14 3 2.10 4 1.67 5 1.29 6 1:1 7 .84 8 .67 R 2.65 Allpar link "The transmission can be used in a mild or full hybrid setup, and allows input torque up to 900 Nm, or 664 lb-ft (8HP90) — high enough for any Chrysler gasoline engine, not quite enough for the Cummins diesel."

Sweet, but taking a look at the one in my charger it is huge! It's 30" long bell face to rear mount and still 9" tall at the mount.

The 8HP90 has the Mopar small block bolt pattern on the bell housing - that is what I believe is true at least - someone please verify this please and help me out. I just took a look at the 8HP90 transmission in the flesh, but isn't the starter on the passenger side on this new 8 speed? I thought the original small block Mopars were on the driver's side - or am I missing something here? Is it possible to change the 8HP90 to the driver's side - or does the small block easily hook up the starter on the passengers side? One way or the other, trying to hook up an old LA type block or B or RB block is going to be really tough - or is this only possible with the newer Generation III hemis? I thought it would be cool to be able to hook up the old gear with this newer technology, but the starter position deal might be an absolute no deal situation. The starter is the deal breaker? Just make your harness longer. Very easy to do. Yes, Gen 3 have the same bell pattern as LA and Magnum blocks.

If I was going through all the work of the TF-8 I'd be putting a Gen III in front of it, I wouldn't bother trying to mate it to an old engine. It's a play for efficiency, put a modern, efficient engine in front of it.
