Default 4L80E: Here's one you dont see very often

I have a low mile 4L80E complete with the flexplate verter and all. Planning to do the Transgo Stg 3 manual kit. Havent decided yet.

I am buying a LQ4 6.0L short block. It has the funky longer/thicker rear flange on the crank. It had a 4L80E behind it though.

Since I planned to run the 4L80E cant I use the flexplate I have and just buy a stall setup for a truck? Then bolt this all up to the shortblock I am buying.

This is gonna be a budget run it till it scatters turbo build for the new shop car.

I think you are on the right track. I don't see any reason it will not work.

Be sure to pay close attention to the converter / flexplate spacing when you bolt it up. I think you'll be fine.

I appreciate it. I will give you guys a call about a stall. See what you guys think I need to go with for the setup.

Well I need a big bag of cash if ya got one handy .

Here is the plan:

Stock LQ4 short block
-ARP rod bolts
-236/236 .602"/.602" 114
-Aluminum 317 LQ9 heads w/ dual springs
-Victor Jr intake
-90mm TB

T6 80mm S480 Turbo setup
-1.10 A/R
-Race cover
-JGS 56mm BOV
-JGS 60MM WG
-5"-4" DP

4L80E Swap
-Transgo Full manual setup (might stay full auto, dont know yet)
-Big Trans cooler
-Stall ???????

Stock 10 Bolt
-3.42 gears

What stall ya think would work with the above and be budget minded. Remeber its basicly a truck setup being put in a car. Needs to be a truck style stall.

Yeah I have a couple spares. Hell I dont expect the engine or trans to last past 12-15lbs of boost. I am just trying to build the car with some parts I have laying around the shop.
