Ok im tired of always hearing somthin different about doing the 4l80 swap i hear its going to slow my truck down, the gear ratios in it suc and it dont last much longer then the 4l60 i actually just bought a 4l80 to do the swap but it has a 6bolt torque converter if i just change to a 3 bolt stall will that work ?? also please clear up some of these roomers for me cause im having a hard time doing somethin to my truck that will make it slower

i see NO use in going 80E unless youre putting down over 500+ rwhp but then again i seen some sick trucks putting down over 600-700 through a 60E
sorry couldnt help ya.

The 80e is much stronger than the 60e without a doubt. You prob don't need it until you get in the higher HP ranges (500+) but if you've got it and plan on adding some serious power, go for it!

You can get around 450 on motor with heads and cam so if you plan on spraying, I would throw it in.Originally Posted by tricked03sierra

Well i am in the process of doing the swap right now. I should have the truck running fri. I hear that the better 80e or from 02 and up. I was lucky to find a 02 with 43k miles on it for $800. As far as the gear ratio you are right, but hey thats what they make diff gears sets for the rear for. I will probally be changing mine but will wait to see how see acts. As far as the converter go's, you can go with a 6 bolt converter and use a 6.0 fly wheel, or do what I did and get a cat 3 bolt race fly wheel and yank, or circle d can build you a converter that will bolt right up to it. I went with the yank very nice guy and super fast shipping. Hope this helps Nick

4.8 doesn't mean anything, and if its a stock 80e its gonna be a dog out the hole.
wtf lol i see he has a post selling the 80E lol and now asking questions about it!!
if ya got it use it, then swap to 6.0or bigger
