I honestly do not think that anyone makes one yet. However it would be a great idea!

We offer one as an option on our 4L80E and 6X transmissions. It does take some work to properly fit them though. We remove the pump and mill a register on it to keep the bell concentric, then we install a billet adapter ring to the pump that accepts an SFI bell. This makes it rather expensive. Shoot me a PM if you'd like more details.

By doing this do you need to run a custom converter or do most after market stalls fit this application? I'm guessing yes. I can see where this can be done by indexing the pump in a lathe and machining it for an adapter ring for the sfi bell. The only issue I see with this is 4l80E units can be hard on pumps. So every time you need to replace one you will have to have another pump custom machined. I guess once you figure out the difference in the dept of the bells the spacer ring is a no brainer. Vince

Quicktime makes one for BB Mopars, maybe someone can convince them to put out one for an LSx/SBC/BBC?
