I just read postings on the charger site, that the late 5.7 (2009-2014) as well as the 6.4 were NOT great candidates for dropping in our A-Bodies or trucks. That the theft alarms, throttle control make it difficult to use in other cars. Like my intentions of using a manual, like Passon's 5-speed, or the 518-A 90's transmissions, or torque flight, these transmission would not be useable. I guess this question is aimed at Moder Muscle as he seems to have a lot of experience here.
