Hi guys
looking at some info on doing my landcruiser ls swap!
There's 2 ly6's available at reasonable prices but both have the 6l90e transmission which would be great but would need modifying to go in my 80 series! i.e output shaft, mounts & transmission selector as far as I'm aware!
but a work buddy has offered a free 4l60e that needs rebuilding!
So my question is would a built 4l60e handle a moderately cammed ly6 and still be reliable for a DD?
Or just try modding the 6l90 🤷
thanks Matt

 

Yes, the 4L60e can handle that power reliably if given a proper rebuild. In proper, I mean addressing all of the hydraulic leaks in the valve body, pump, case and input drum.

 

Would help if we knew the mission for the Series 80,, hard core, exploring, freeway flyer...

 

I've had a 4L60E in my LS6 swapped 98 Wrangler for over 14 years with zero problems. More or less stock 4L60E. Big stacked plate trans cooler. 2000 stall converter. I used Novak for all the swap parts.

 

sorry for the late reply!! It will be daily driving and some wheelin, nothing too crazy just trails, mud bogs I guess.
I did pick up the 2009 ly6 and a freshly rebuilt 4l70e.
