Well there are several things that come into play, On our end as a performance transmission manufacturer,They are just not financially practical at the point. Cores are exstremely rare and exspensive and demand is little more than interest from what I have see, Particularly with what a conversion would cost even if the kinks were all worked out. For most people the 4l80e conversion is to costly which is why its not done any more often than it is and the 6l80e would be much much more, In time I am sure it will come, But wide spread is a few years down the road I would say.
