long crank 6.0
long crank 6.0 I have an early 6.0 that I am going to put in my Mustang. Come to find out that since it is an early one, i have a spacer built in.... yay.... not really.
I have access to a 4L80e, but it is an older unit that I dont really want to run if I dont have too. I dont want to kill my trans tunnel to make it fit.
Since I have the spacer (well it is part of the crank actually) can I use a 4L60e made for older SBC's or 4.3's with the removeable bell and just redrill my TC holes to line up? I will not be using a LS 4L60e.
Thanks in advance.
If anyone wants a 4L80e from a 96 G20 cargovan.... well... I have one.

From memory, you ahould be able to use any TH350, 400, or 700/4L60E for an SBC. The 4L80 is a good unit, although they have some input shaft problems even with stock 6.0's. I would repost over in the trans section.
Also, where are you located?

You can make it work by running a flat flex plate from a 2000 model 2500 HD and a converter for an LT1, other wise it will need a custom made converter. I did this on mine, works perfect. If you ever blow it and get another engine with a s short crank just use a spacer and the same flat flex plate.
