Default Tranny for Hemi 6.1 swap

Searching for the tranny to go behind the 6.1 Hemi we want to buy i've found a vendor that told me that the tranny behind a 5.7 Hemi-powered Ram 4x4 is the 45RFE, NOT the 545RFE, anybody has some specific info regarding this?

You want the tranny from either Grand or a Commander with a Hemi. Both of these will be the correct one to mount to the JK transfer case. This tranny will work with the 5.7 and 6.1 conversions.

The 05 Ram I traded for my Jeep and my Dad's 06 Ram have 545 RFE's behind the 5.7 Hemi. Dunno about the 07 or 08.
