Default 4L80E pigtail source

Are there any places selling 80E pigtails reasonable? It doesnt even have to be a conversion pigtail... Just the plug and enough wire to get started..

No pictures but Transtar has early and late pigtails. They are AC Delco and Rostra brands. They have many depots in the country so look one up close to you. Good luck.

Call Speartech. I got my conversion from them, but I'm sure they sell just the plug with some leads.

You dont have to beat out the floor or firewall to install the 4l80e.You do however have to cut out a section of the floor pan brace where your electronics plug into the transmission.Not through the floor,just the brace.You really need to cut ot another section where the rear trans line comes out of the trans,its very tight there.Nahasapeemapetalon,(above post) has some good pictures of this if he will post them for you.Also you have to cut off the ears on the trans to clear the floor.
