Anybody running a 8 speed trans in an older car? How much trimming of the tunnel/firewall did you do and what body car do you have? I am getting ready to to put one in a 65 Coronet behind 6.1 hemi with magnuson blower.

I don't know the answer to your question. Was curious what you are going to use for a trans controller on that setup.
In God we trust, all others pay cash.

German sound engineering has a great controller! A lot of great success. 8Hp trans used in a lot German cars The 8 speed technology came from when Chrysler merged with Mercedes.[b][/b]

A lot of great success. 8Hp trans used in a lot German cars The 8 speed technology came from when Chrysler merged with Mercedes.[b][/b] I have always thought the five speed automatic was the German transmission and the eight speed was developed by Chrysler. I thought the eight speed came out quite awhile after Chrysler split with Mercedes. Am I wrong?

nag1 was benz hp70/90 is ZF
Both are different sized than a 727. They do not fit without cutting/trimming, using the Holley mount kit, etc.
Russell at Sound German knows what's what. I talked for an hour with him once.

ZF developed the 8 speed and Chrysler builds them under license in the Kokomo South Transmission Plant. The 9 speed FWD trans was co-developed between FCA and ZF.
