even if you dont buy this one.....something like this would be a great deal to do.....the cost to build the 65e would be about the same as a slight build and swap on a 80e
2006 silverado SS....Clifford Jr...turbo coming soon
1970 Chevelle ly6 swap....d1 coming soon
You can't count robbing parts off other trucks parked at the mall. This is a 4wd swap. That means that front and rear shafts and change the input gear on the transfer case which is much more expensive that 160.00

well can i get a round about number maybe? i'm looking at dropping about 2750 on my built 65 and tc. if i can do the swap for near that price or a little more i will buy this tomorrow.
You could put this one in for that price. I think. Remember it is a 4wd trans and you will need to change the input gear in your transfer case to match the trans. Time2kill on silveradoss.com sells the necessary gear. You would also need the front driveshaft out of a 2500 he might have that as well.

Yes you will need a custom front driveshaft. I am not sure of the rear driveshaft and the input gear can still be obtained from time2kill. I have not done this swap yet but it is in my near future or I would tell you what exactly to do about the shafts front and rear. Kbracing will cut and weld your crossmember for 40 bucks or so plus shipping if memory serves. Thats about all the info I have.
Oh wait, Front shaft needs to be smaller diamator and is a different length. An SS is if I remember right a shorter shaft. Don't know if a regular front shaft would work. I doubt it but I plan to try it and see once I get the cheese for a built 4l80.

thats what my swap cost, without robbing parts, i just get good deals and dont pay out the ass, im sure it wouldnt cost much more if you watch where youre spending money at.

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
4wd is much more expensive.

A 4x4 60 to 80 swap is more involved as the tranny/transercase is moved back about 1 11/16. A stock front drive shaft from a 2500/3500 truck (you must tell them its for a 5speed trans to get the right one from a junk yard) will fit and you have to shorten the rear shaft 1 11/16, as well as cutting the cross-member and moving it back. Also, as stated the input gear on the transfer case must be changes out the the 4l80 gear on the autotrack and a special made one for the AWD tranfercases. It also uses a different adapter between the tranny and transercase then the 60 does. It is much more involved then 2wd swaps.
PS, Would be nice to have this tranny for a spare,You should hold it for me until the LS1truck track day in case history repeats its self,
