ive been debating making my stock 6spd car into an auto due to the recent changes in build. im going to be running an f1r in a 98 fbody forged internals in a 6.0 with ported l92s stock weight with 3.42 gears sees almost all street/cruise night miles some street racing. would a glide be better or an 80e? some other car guys suggested a glide. if i were to go glide what converter would be best or is there a better option for the set up also budget is a concern as is with everyone in this economy. really looking for whats worked for others and what hasnt i dont wanna blow through the tires everytime i wanna do a hard launch but i dont wanna have the rpms way high while im cruising down the hwy or in town either

 

80e if you want to cruise

 

Love my 80e. No regrets.

 

80E hands down

 

80 all the way, with 4:30 gears

 

4l80
$4K LATER you have a bullet proof trans and converter

 

my cars pretty much done,
if you want you can bring your car over this weekend so we can start working on the front clip to get that big b---- to fit

 

80e ftw

 

Enjoying my $200 4L80e.

 

Shoot if you lived in Oklahoma City i would trade you my Auto Trans for your M6! just do a complete swap ahah

 

^^^^^^ watch what you ask for he may hit u up on that

 

u never know i might be so inclined to do so
4k is a but load of money there wheres my friend discount lol ill hit u up today about bringing the car over got some more parts headed in this week hopefully then we can discuss this tranny issue really figured some of u guys would have went the pg route thanks for the input

 

Wait where are you located?? if you are in Oklahoma City i will let you do your thing if you install the manual for me?!

 

im just across the way in missouri but probably 8 hrs away lol plus i wouldnt want to take the enjoyment ud get from putting it in for urself

 

I honestly wouldnt be able to put it in myself :c I dont have a lift, if it cant be achived with a 2-ton jack then i cant do it ahaha. if i wasnt in highschool still id take a week off and shoot out there to you. unless some locals here want to help us out with this swap

 

I was in the same boat as you are and I was torn between a 80e or a Th400 ( mainly due to the price) and I rulled out the TH400, reason is I wanted to drive and enjoy it and not have a trailer queen. And from there I was in between a 80e and a T56 and I went with a T56 due to I like to row my own gears but a 80e is a good choice as well there is jake's in Sanger,Texas that I would have gone with they do a turn key job for 4200 I think i'm not sure you will have to get with them and see. I went with Texas Drive and Performance and Jason and Fabian did a real good job on my stage 3 Tranny and clutch. You can do a cheap 80 swap look up 72camaro he has a thread on how to do it and I think he had maybe 2,000 into his and he did it himself and I think he was putting down 750 RWHP I think i'm not 100% on those numbers.
