Starter from Dbelectric worked as expected. The starter is from a 6.1 srt 2007 to 2012 Grand Cherokee fits perfectly on the 8hp70 ZF transmission. Console dry for Dart should work fine. And the tunnel is forming up nicely.

Finished up cleaning up welds test fitted many times rear mount. I ran tranny lines and fuel with pfte. These fittings are ok but seems legit garage has a better one that sticks out little farther. I chose not to go under engine and went left side and up for my lines. I will put a heat wrap...

Its the factory 8hp shifter both top and bottom. Used are mostly from wrecked cars and stuck in rain electronics has to be an 8Hp unit. It's the Challenger or TRX style can flip to manual shift. I could have saved cash but I hate the dial shifter.

I am almost done with my swap in Dart sport with LA 360. I am doing the wiring this week plumbing the cooling lines and filling with oil for the first start and programming. After that I will install my new driveshaft after I have checked for leaks and any unknown issues. Please be aware this...

Ran fuel lines last night and checked out my trans cooler and controller wiring a bit last night. I love the PFTE stuff and the little compression fittings just like the stuff for copper plumbing and pecs. What a great product was so easy to use, I do need to find some heat wrap from the front...

Tail shaft mount nearly ready to install.

Final install of ZF 8HP70 for 1974 Dart Sport 360. Excited great easy morning. Did my angle check in degrees exactly as it was for stock setup. I will weld in my upper hoop now as it will no longer need to come in and out with new setup I made. The tunnel does not have to be huge but I'm...

Few test fits and changes to crossmember and upper hoop. Goes in this weekend. Then the plumbing and wiring and programming!

He had issues getting the exhaust routed but if your looking at other solutions here should be fine to start. My car dont have much left stock and big upgrade I am doing the ZF 8 speed in front of an old school LA360 build.

Look up Walker Induction solutions he has developed viable kits for twin turbos on the 3.6. I have seen the cars first hand they are amazing. Walker Induction Solutions

Adapter installed and the bushing. Looks like I will be using the .075 spacers for the torque converter. Torque to spec 55 foot pounds.

Ok upper hoop is in where I plan for it to live now. Minus any adjustments well stab transmission and build the tunnel around it. Three pieces top middle narrow side, should look way better than Ma Mopar did with her crooked weird tunnel. Great for stock of course but no reason to duplicate...

Now I can adjust the hoop little trim to do here and there but this should do it. I got back ordered trans mount puck, the 90 degree elbows for 10AN pfte trans lines, and a bushing thays supposed to be here today for the crank for the JVX flywheel install. If I can get this 40 bucks of parts...

Floor modification coming along nicely and the upper tunnel hoop will be wider and taller. This should give me plenty of room for new transmission. I also addressed the floor not being welded as it should be across the cross member corners.

A great looking truck! The 8HP70 LASB/rb page on Facebook ZF swaps may be of interest. Ram Charger with LA360 did the swap and he loves. Sounds like perfect candidate you got here. I am doing it on my Dart Sport right now.
