Dodge 8HP Starter Cutout Cover

Give your Dodge ZF 8HP transmission swap a clean, professional, factory-style finish with the FABbot Engineering Dodge 8HP Starter Cutout Cover.

When adapting a Dodge ZF 8HP transmission from a Challenger, Charger, or Chrysler 300C to a GM V8 engine, starter clearance requires either trimming a section of the factory bellhousing or using an aftermarket shroudless starter.

At FABbot Engineering, we recommend trimming the bellhousing to retain a readily available factory-style starter. This makes future starter replacements easier, faster, and more affordable without relying on specialized aftermarket components that could leave you stranded at the track if a replacement isn't readily available.

Our Dodge 8HP Starter Cutout Cover bolts directly to the FABbot Engineering GM V8 to Dodge 8HP adapter, concealing the modified bellhousing opening for a clean, finished appearance.

Important Fitment Information
