4l80 questions
4l80 questions Hey guys I have a few questions about a 4l80e swap I would appreciate if you could help me out.
I will pick up a 4l80e for my swap. What years bolt up to my 6.0 lq4?
Can I use the stock lq4 flexplate with it?
I want to add a transbrake and a manual valve body. Is the $500 setup that Jakes sells include both?
I want to install a shift kit as well, what one works with Jakes mvb and tb?
Is installing the vb and tb as easy as swapping out valve bodies?
Does anyone use revmax converters?
Will I be giving up any performance with a 4500 stall revmax over a similar yank?
Any other things you reccomend doing before an install?
Thanks,
Dustin

Any year will bolt up, the 99-up usually have the 12 o'clock bolt hole to get all 6 bellhousing bolts in.
If it's a stock LQ4 flexplate for a 4L80E, yes it will work.
Our transbrake and manual control box are sold separately.
There is no need for a "shift kit" with our transbrake setup. It is specifically designed from extensive testing and is a complete valve body assembly. You never want to try to mix and match different valve body components from any manufacturer.
You need to do a couple of internal mods while installing the transbrake, as with most transbrakes.
I seriously doubt you would lose any performance using an equivalent Revmax compared to a Yank. Although converters are very complicated, the parts used are typically from stock cores or available to anyone with a catalog from the suppliers. Some builders make their own parts such as Circle-D but most are not.

Thanks for the help Jake. I have the chance to pick up a low mile 2003 4l80e for 450$ so I think that's what I'm going to do then get my parts through you. How much does a trans brake and manual valve body cost through you?
