This is my first hemi swap and I cannot figure out the correct part # for the structural dust cover that connects the engine to the bottom of the Getrag 238 transmission. Can anyone out there who has done this swap tell me what part they used? The engine is a 5.7L VVT out of a 2012 Dodge RAM 1500, and the Getrag 238 transmission is out of a 2007 Dodge Dakota. The kit for the swap came from Jeep Speed Shop.
The Jeep is a 2007 Rubicon.
On the attached drawing, item 7 is what I am looking for.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You may want to post this on pirate. May be able to get a quicker response. Good luck with build

Ask todd at jss. Just call him, I'm sure he can give it to you if you bought his kit

I assumed Todd would help also, but he didnt know. So now I am out trying to find someone who bought the kit and successfully did the swap.

And here is the main page. Just scroll down to part 7. http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/...ukey_make=1062

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I tried that one and it didnt fit the engine. It fit up good on the transmission, but not the engine. I probably should have listed it earlier, but I also tried part # 53021491AA which fit the 2012 5.7 VVT engine, but did not fit the transmission. I also tried 53021282AA which didnt fit either of them. I am beginning to worry the part might not exist.

Well, you are mating a trans with an engine that were never mated together in production.

So, is it truly a necessary component? If yes, what about it is needed? It really isn't hard to make the part you need.

Bruiser conversions does the same swap, 5.7/getrag 238. Maybe call them and order the part from them

Did you figure this out yet? I'm also looking for a ready-made dust cover, but so far no luck. I did find a photo of the swap done by Cleveland Power and Performance showing part of the bell housing; scroll through the auction site images to see it:
