Anyone with regrets...4L80E into a 98-02 F-Body
I'm planning this in the next couple months. Search has a million things and I can't really spend 50 hours going through them all to pull out certain info.
Can anyone who has done it tell me what problems they ran into during the install....and/or what problems came up later on?
What PCM adapter did you use or how did you tune for the 4L80E?
What install/conversion kit did you use?
How about dealing with the linkage assembly for gear selection?
How about a drive shaft?
Mine will have about 850 RWHP/RWTQ on spray.
Thanks...........

Just off the top of my head from when we did the swap on my car.
It was pretty straight forward to be honest. I think its one of the greatest things i've done to the car thus far.

Just some minor cutting to clearance the connector.. Some people have had to hammer the tranny tunnel in some also but that was not the case with mine..

EFILive is what I used.
What install/conversion kit did you use?
Got everything I needed from Jake's(including BMR tranny crossmember)..
How about a drive shaft?
Stock length w/ different yoke, iirc.

Do you know if the linkage hooks right up to stock mounts?
Thanks for the input.

The cable that came with my B&M shifter and everything hooked up to the 80 linkage no problem.. I'm not sure on this exact question as im still learning everything. I'll send slow67 this way, he can answer your question for sure. His memory is much better then mine, haha.

How do you like your FTI converter? Does it seem to be a quality piece? Everybody on here screams Circle D and Yank, which I know are excellent according to the history record. Reason why I ask is, I can drive to FTI in 20 minutes. I like the local idea. Sorry for the "jack" on the thread.
