What year did these start going into chargers? I do alot of work for a dealership that does mostly ppv chargers and may be able to get one from a parts car they got
2015+ V8 Charger or Challenger. The 5.7 and 6.4 engine have the 8HP70 and the 6.2L (Hellcat) has the 8HP90

I suspect that the BP engine and transmission package will be selling close to $50k

Excited to see progress on this. I think you'll find that the little loop on the adapter around the starter needs to get trimmed.

I'm also curious if the starter nose will clear on the 90 or it it will need a little trim like on a 70.

Looking at my own pictures, I suspect the 90 should fit with a stock starter:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like Domiworks and Seems Legit Garage are the two options for adapters for the Dodge 8HP. Any mind sharing their experiences or reasoning for going with one vs the other?

The Domiworks adapter looks like jewelry and fits as advertised. My experience with the Adamat adapter that is sold by SLG is that they are not nearly as nicely machined and were actually machined wrong. The flywheel did not fit over the crank register.

Here is a new player for the adapter, but I have no direct experience with it....yet...
