Default trany up grade

Has anyone put in a conversion kit in to make a three speed auto into a six speed. How complicated is it?

Get an overdrive box. This gives you two drive ranges.... (or, an underdrive box, whichever you think you need.) It won't be automatic though.....

Don't the hemis have the same bellhousing pattern, so you could bolt up one of the new 8 speeds? It wouldn't be cheap or easy of course

Hemi is different bolt pattern. That would have been too easy.

I thought it bolts up other than 1 of the bolts? Maybe it's the Chevys I'm thinking of.
