t56 to 4l80e
im not compleatly sure about the switch yet, but with putting out more horsepower and launching the car harder, i just dont trust the t56. Would it be feasable to build a 4l80e for my car with a good stall for less than 1500?

you will need a cross member,notch trans tunnel,cut off pass ear of trans,drive shaft,controller/mvb,shifter/linkage,trans lines.but if are making power it is a good choice it will a have better chance of lasting than a 4l60.i love my 4l85e

Verdad Gallardo Thats alot more than i thought. What needs to be done as far as tuning. I know you cant just slap the transmission in and fire it up.
P.S. have an upgraded driveshaft.

If the car doesn't see a lot of daily driving (I read 383) I'd suggest a built Th350. There are a lot of folks near your area that can build a 3-speed auto that'll hold up (at least for a while!) for pretty cheap.
A good converter is paramount if you want the car to launch hard and put up good MPH.
If you keep a T56 you WILL still tear them up every so often and you WILL eat a clutch about once a year. Spending $500 on a clutch every year gets old to me. I think there is definitely a reason why nearly all cars at the track are autos. Granted, it's not as fun as a 6-speed on the street, but you may have a lot more fun running consistent times every week.
