what all actually goes into the 4l80 swap. yeah i have looked at the threads...and people always say...its not that bad.....that you only have to do this and that....then the thread ends up being 20 pages long with them being really pissed. heres what I know about it

remove old trans
beat out the tunnel
put in new trans with speartech harness.

Well worst part was cutting small section from underneath the car other then that it's like any other trans install I went with fmvb on mine and love it. I mean it took all of 4hours from start to finish

My install went great no issues at all

I would suggest using a aftermarket shifter because it launches hard and you'll skip 2nd gear

^Yeah I will be F1 by this spring, I want to get the new out of this brand new D1 before I get rid of it. Mike & Fraser are saying that the assembly should be underway this week on the motor, and I will post some pics just as soon as they are made available to me. We are still waiting on the PRC 237's to get there. It is my highest hope to have the motor in my possession in June. The 60 days that follow after that will be enough time for me to grab a new trans from a sponsor. Then we will do the break in on the current fuel system, and without the blower on. By the time the break in is done, I will have the aster in, and fuel system on. The car will be waiting on the MWC to be fabbed then, and by that time, fall should be upon us. It will prob not see the track this year. I imagine early 2013 she should be ready to go make some low 10 high 9 passes. be nice to finally grab a 9 sec club badge.

NGK is recommending that i run TR8-IX plugs in this car (aka the coldest heat range they have for tapered plugs) they say that should be good for 15-20ish lbs of boost. Does anyone forsee a problem running that plug, and at .040. So many people running TR6's and BR7EF that I wonder. Then again, they deal with spark day in and day out, so I humbly bow to your widsoms.

Well, I plan to run the BR7EFS (the non-projected tip plug) but was running the 6's before with out issues.
