Small Block Ford (SBF) to Hemi 8HP / ZF8 Transmission Adapter Package

COMING SOON!

The LOJ Conversions Small Block Ford (SBF) to Ram and Mopar Hemi 8HP / ZF8 (8HP70, 8HP75, 8HP90, 8HP95) Transmission Adapter specifically designed for mating to sought after ZF 8-Speed transmissions to your favorite Ford engines. The straight-forward approach and overall simple design will allow a seamless integration of these Ford engines with the Ram truck and Mopar car version of the Hemi ZF8. The adapter plate design incorporates a 360* mounting surface for enhanced rigidity. 

The included Billet Aluminum Converter Adapter is designed to work with the Hemi 8HP Torque Converter and both 10.5" and 11.4" Ford converter bolt patterns. Why not a complete billet flexplate? Because many small block engines are externally balanced, and this adapter allows you to keep your rotating assembly as-is, with no rebalance necessary. 

The steel converter pilot adapter is included to properly align the converter to the crankshaft.

LOJ recommends to change the fluid and filter when swapping a Used Transmission. The ZF Service Kit can be purchased here --> ZF Service Kit

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Will this kit require any modifications to my engine or transmission?
  • Yes, (Some). You will need to modify the bellhousing some for starter clearance on all transmission versions. The Ram 8HP transmissions have provisions for factory starters on both sides of the bellhousing. The Ford engines do not allow a LH side mounted starter (US Drivers Side) so our adapter plate does not account for it. Some Ford Headers hug that side of the block tight, and the bulge on the side of the bellhousing might interfere. We have no way to know this, and you might need to cut that bulge off to make room. 
• Will this kit work with the Mopar/Dodge Charger, Challenger 8HP transmissions? 
  • Yes
