The instructions are pretty easy to follow and will guide you in the right direction.

 

cant forget the barefeet and hilarious antics as well

 

 

4l80e is built and ready to install tomorrow with the converter, then its just some finishing up on the cold side piping, putting clamps on it all, and then i have to mount the oil return pump, wire the fuel pumps permanently, and the fan wiring kit, i filled the block and coolant system today and put the tensioner on and the belts...
not much else to do! till it drives!

 

Good job matt! Can't wait to see how it does. You keeping the factory return style setup and factory rails?

 

great work as always. should be a beast!

 

This is going to be the best yet

 

are you going to have your PCM run the fans?

 

Burnouts are imminent!

 

yeah stock feed and return lines, stock tank, stock all that **** haha, i just put twins in the tank and ran new power lines

yeah i got a blackbear harness with ls1 connetors and LS1 fans from a local guy

maybe this weekend!

 

Sorry if I missed it, did you say which oil scavenging pump you are running?

 

turbowerx base model pump, not the exapump its like 250 on ebay i added it to my commonly bought items thread, there is a link to the ebay auction.

 

I read a little about the trans go kit on summit. I know the one they make for a 400 can't support the HP I'm at so I made my own from jake's instructions, but I know you do your research so I'm sure the one for the 80e is legit.. My question, is since that kit allows you to hold any gear, and downshift any gear, are you gonna be column shifting a full MVB crank window truck!?

 

no the ecu will still shift the trans, its not converting it to full manual.

 

this is the same kit we installed in the truck/fairmont trans

 

Oh ok. I can't remember if you posted it and I missed it or not, but what fuel are you gonna use with this? and please tell me you're using a sloppy meth kit you got laying around.

 

regular gasoline and i got a cooling mist kit off ebay that will be going in yes

 

So.. after you get this thing rollin are you gonna do a part and price sheet?

 

Thank You for the pics!
Man that looks like alot of parts. lol How long did it take you guys to install it? Anything that gave you trouble? How accurate were the instructions? Sorry for the question dump.

 

i can throw up a price sheet for what i spent.


about 2 hours to do the install from start to finish
the instructions are not bad at all, my friend has done many transmissions though, but is no longer his primary job, just helps us out when we have this stuff to do.
