Default Help me figure out a plan to swap my T56 for an auto

I am a total noob when it comes to automatic transmissions. I want to go with a transmission that has overdrive for obvious reasons. It needs to be able to handle 800 wheel HP (so im guessing 4L80). Also this is for a turbocharged application so what converter would i want to be looking at? Any special swap parts that i will need? If someone could provide me links to products that would be great. I noticed we have several transmission sponsors. Thanks!

We can help you out. We have lots of customers using 4L80Es in 4th Gen cars.

Install is pretty simple. Change the crossmember, driveline yoke, install a cooler and lines, possibly install a harness or use full manual operation. The body brace needs to be clearanced slightly.

I would probably recommend our Stage 3 build. Give us a call and we'll see what we can do for you.
