The 5.7 HEMI comes with the 45RFE (or 5-45RFE), same as the 4.7. I
don't think a stick is available at all, but given that they use the
same auto, I'd guess that the bellhousing off a NV3500-equipped 4.7L
would work. For a while, then it'd disintegrate. Dodge puts the NV4500
behind the 360 in Rams because the 3500 can't handle the loads.
