built 4l60e or 4l80 swap?

[Chris@LSXPS]

By the time you spend 1000 or more on a 60e you could go get a low mileage 80e for 850 with a warranty

Save yourself time headache and money get the 80e.

Do it once, and do it right. Do an 80e.

Any ideas where to get a good 80e from and a converter built for all I'm doing? The cam going in isn't to crazy.

[kerrige]

You can get a stock unit from lots of builders in Texas for like 750 I would suggest calling around or asking Nelson. For the converter its a no brainier call circle d and see what they think or just stalk the classifieds on pt.net and Craigslist.

I've been lookin into the circle d converters and always Planed on one for the 4l60 from them. I'm on the east coast so I'd have to have one shipped to me regardless. Still gotta see what I need to make my tcase work or could I use one from a 2500?

[screamin86]

any idea where i could find good 4l80e's withouth breaking the bank?

[Chris@LSXPS]

Craigslist, just don't know for sure what your getting or of it is worth a crap most of the time

I just ordered my trans parts from trutechtrans for my 4l60e $875.00, and I got all of the good parts.
Beast sun shell, 5 pinion planetary, wide drum, sonnex center support, extra clutches and steels, servos,
shift kit, and the master rebuild kit. Only thing missing is the converter.
Jeff was a lot of help, he said this should be good for 500/550 hp

[Chris@LSXPS]

Been there already with all the same parts atleast 5 times! With two different builders, after that I was thinking to myself, damn I wish I would have listened to the first person that told me to go with an 80e.
