{"product_id":"mercedes-om60x-to-dodge-hemi-8hp70-transmission-adapter-kit","title":"Mercedes om60x to Dodge Hemi 8HP70 Transmission Adapter Kit","description":"The Benzforce Mercedes to Dodge Hemi 8HP70 adapter kit facilitates the integration of powerful Mercedes om60x diesel engines (om606, om602, om603) with the sought-after Dodge 8HP70 automatic transmission. The adapter is compatible with Dodge 8HP70 transmissions as found in applications such as the 5.7 Hemi Charger, and it is recommended to use a Turbolamik controller for operation.\n\nThe kit includes essential hardware for the swap, such as a bell housing to block ring, a torque converter adapter, and various bolts and locating pins for secure assembly. Specific hardware provided includes M8x1.25 bolts for adapter to converter and flex plate to torque converter connections, M10x1.5 bolts for adapter to om60x and transmission to adapter connections, and locating pins. The installation process involves careful alignment and securing of the components, with specific instructions for the pilot bushing, adapter ring, torque converter adapter, and final transmission mating.\n\nInstallation requires attention to detail, including determining the necessity of a center bushing based on the torque converter's pilot diameter. It is recommended to freeze bushings and pins for easier installation due to tight interference fits. A press is strongly advised for installing the pilot bushing and locating pins to prevent damage. The torque converter adapter must be fully seated onto the converter and secured with bolts. The adapter ring mounts to the engine block, and specific fasteners are used for securing the transmission to the adapter ring, with variations noted for om606 and om648 engines. The flex plate is secured to the converter adapter via bolts inserted through the oil pan opening after the engine and transmission are mated.","brand":"Benzforce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687119253816,"sku":"BF697560621884","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/661662726.webp?v=1784880532","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/mercedes-om60x-to-dodge-hemi-8hp70-transmission-adapter-kit","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
