What all is needed to switch from a 60 to an 80? and how hard is it?
Go to Speed Engineering - Specializing in LS1, LS2 and LT1 Performance Parts and check out the kit to do the conversion. It will slow you down but if you're adding a power adder that will compensate for the additional rotation of mass, go for it. Take a 500HP engine and add another 300 HP of NOS on it then you may need the 80e. Your truck looks awful light for needing a 80e. I did mine for the afforementioned reason, plus my 60e broke.
See my truck data in the "My Garage" section here... http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/my-ga...tml#post191709
my 2nd gear in my 60e went out and my buddy has an 01 2500 that he will give me all the parts I need if it will work. Do
all of the 2500 hd with the 6.0 have the 80e in them?
How did you lose 2nd?
