Anyone done a 4L80E in a newer F-body?
 

I need help! I will be making 650-900 hp with a 408 and a T76 turbo and need info on getting a 4L80E to work with my 2002 Z28.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Car will be mainly street, not much strip.

I like an overdrive tranny.

HELP ME!

What concerns should I have to make this work and who should I get the tranny from?

I have one in my car, havent started it, but it fits with some clearancing

Can't help you with who to get the tranny from. Look for an 01+ to get all the newest improvements. I have a 01' 4L80e in my 00' firebird. You will need a flexplate, converter, tranny brace, cooler lines, and driveshaft. You can get adapter wiring harness to use the stock computer if you already had a 4l60e, but will need a custom flash with the 4l80e software. You can also use a tci power train control module that works well. May want to call up rossler, flp and rock on to get some pricing and insight on what is available. I know rossler did a transbrake for the 80e. I used the stock shifter with an adapter to get it to work.

A guy on here that goes by TwnturboCE or something like that has one and the car is fast :)

Do a search

They are $3000 plus extras!! ouch!!

I posted in your other thread its one Im running, built by a former GM employee, in cali.

yank verter

you will have to do clearancing on the case to make it fit.

TwinTurboCe has a rossler tranny, I spoke to rossler briefly and we were up to 5k for the tranny before core. so be sitting down if you call them

Im looking at doing this swap also... only thing im lookin at is tunnel issues...I have some friends here in Vegas that build transmissions for quite a trophy trucks they are using 400's rightnow but building 80's with manual valve bodys...

I believe its around 5 grand to get it all done. too much in my opinion plus they're very heavy.

I have the Hughes Street/Strip 4L80E in my G-body, and it is great. You can control the line pressures vs. TPS and MPH in each gear, set upshift/downshift points for each gear, datalog, and more.

Here's a picture that might help (though not much for an f-body):

It did cost me $4800 including shipping and the core charge. I tried to find a good core cuz it would have saved me about $600 after shipping, but I couldn't find one for a good price in the 30 day time period.

It is heavy but not much more than a TH400 with a GV Overdrive, and you do not get the cool computer control with that setup.

yea if price is no object, you can guy Rossler, but Finishline Transmission is a great compnay as well, plus they have a 8 sec truck( Parish8 on here) that they have there 80E in. Mine cost around $4K-ish with core, but I think it is going to be worth it.

he doesnt run 8s....but yea he has put a beating to it and its still running

Parish has a 8 second powertrain that is for sure. If that was in a f-body witht eh correct suspension and driver i could see it doin that all day long. 1k rwhp goes a long way. GL man

:werd:

sorry guys
 

sorry about that guys, i thought I read where he ran some 8's in that thing, i think i might have mistaken it for 8 second builder or something like that, none the less he has over 1000 RWHP and that tranny so it will work great. I ordered the tranny for my upcoming project as well so I will post results in about 2-3 months when i am done.

yeah if you havnt check out Parish's truck vid, its deff worth it! just hearing that turbo screamin is worth the DL :burn:

i am finishing mine up now.. i have a full manual valve body with a push button lock up. . tranny is in. just waiting to the drive shaft..

The 4L80's are right at 30 pounds more than a TH400, I was worried about that also so we put them on scales back to back.

i'm so fucking jelous... tell me more about it. i have a 400 w/ a r.m.v.b and a trans brake... i want an overdrive and a lock up converter with a t-brake and manual valve body... the works. how much did all that cost?
