Like he said...

I am still working out the issues with my swap. The transmission is controlled internally. I have the 6.2 and entire engine/transmission harness. So far no go.
I have spoken to several transmission and harness shops about getting this to work and so far no one has a product come out of their R&D.
If you know of anyone that has actually made the swap successfully please point me to them so I can get this project wrapped up.

Just got off the phone with Painless regarding a stand alone controller and they are shooting for a end of summer production date. Spoke with several other shops and they don't have a date yet.
