Well it finally happened today out of the blue, the tranny let me down. To be honest it has lasted longer than I thought it would. I was crusing down the road in the median then pulled into traffic and all the sudden, pop,pop,pop, then no power. My tranny guy thinks I broke the input shaft or drum because there is no gears at all. So I am gonna go ahead and build it right and be done with it. All suggestions are welcome and much appreciated. Thanks Nick
FLT 80e buddy
Jim (Parish's truck) had the 80E with just a shift kit mod and he was running 10's and it held up for the longest under 750+ hp. :)
if I do the 80e swap what do I do about the drive shaft where to get it and which one is it that I need??
just get urs shorten
want have no problems if I do that?
nope,get it professionaly done. and rebalanced of course
well considering its gonna cost me about 1500 to get the 60e built rock solid I think I might be better off just getting a rebuilt or low milliage 80e and do the swap. probally end up spending close to the same?
i wouldnt go back with a 60. from what i hear a 80e can hold some serious power stock.and yea,i think itll end up being about the same.maybe alittle more for the 80 but worth it imo.
what year model 80e can I use? I see they go all the way back to like 92
