Found this. He makes it sound 'simple'. Maybe it is LOL
Zf 8hp70 mated to sbc

I honestly don't think you find a better trans for driving, its the same trans bmw (google 8p45r) uses in their race car only they run without a converter. that's my next project btw.
with the sbc at The Texas Mile i was shifting at 7k without lifting with 4.11 gears and it went over 150mph. it shifts in 150 ms, with a controller you can shift anyway you want as each shift is a clutch to clutch shift so you release one clutch and engage another. I first hit the engage clutch full pressure, wait 50 ms, then release the other clutch. it would bark the hoosier r4's all the way into 5th. honestly i'm afraid to try it with the ls, it makes 750rwhp. the one thing I don't like about it is the torque converter, no one offers anything for this trans. that's why I'm going to try direct drive and launch off of the beefiest clutch in the trans. it actually has a clutch pack designed for this, it's the same clutch that the bmw race car uses to launch."
..............and then he adds.........
after researching the crap out of it I just decided i had to have one. he only 'technical' part i'd say is getting a controller connected,
i'm a software guy so i didn't mind taking the time to figure it out.
