Hmmmm put in a Chisel air/water... th400... c16.... and a new 115mm exile ultra light turbo and you should kick ass in true street :cool: lol... You have a nice car Ryan, an auto definitely will help that car shine at the track with the power your making.

Anyone that would ditch their man pedal for an auto is a big pu.... wait, shit, nevermind... lmao. Looking forward to seeing what's to come!

Guy I know sent me some shims, should be here soon.

Been thinking about going to the pull a part here. Can walk out with a 4l80e for under $100 if I pull it myself! Might get one, grab a stock shifter, and toss it in. If I like it, build it. If not resell it.

nice build. hows that cam treating you? i have a similar one ready to go into my engine but i'm having a little buyers remorse, feel like its too small... granted i'm running less cubes then you, mines a 355.

[Ryan Stout]

It idles smooth, drives very nice. Honestly, a beginner could drive this car if it weren't faceplated. Cam is nice and tame but it makes power to 6500 easily. If you're wanting to drive the car, its a good choice imo

ONLY reason I wish it were bigger is because I have more cubes and I'd like to take more advantage of the LE TrickFlows.

Lol that's awesome. In all seriousness, i actually bent my seatpan at the shootout on the second pass about half track when it hooked, but I'm 325#. It now sits about 3" back further than the passenger side. To reinforce them I'm going to drill out the old seat studs, add an 1/8" plate where the seats bolt to the pan on the bottom of the car. Drill the plate for new hardware and tack the head of the bolt to the bottom of the plate. Then use some light 1/2" square tubing to tie into the frame.

[Fastbird]

EPIC. See sig.

Put power steering back on and giving her some DD ZR1s again. Tired of never driving it because its a PITA. So my manual rack (now a 100% bolt in) and wheels may hit the classifieds in a while.

How about skinnies that are not AS skinny. Keep the look, yet more contact patch?

[shownomercy]

There are no skinny tires rated for the full front weight of a LT1 car, then toss on a front mount turbo kit and yea, not many tires will satisfy the weight requirements.

Just run a light wheel, and deal with the heavier (albeit safer) tire. I know my OEM ZR1 rims weigh next to nothing and a 275 tire isn't half bad at hooking decent.

T56 is sold. Guy offered a good chunk for it. Looking for a 400. Might've found a lightly used Rossler 400. Also found a killer deal on a converter locally (3400 stall Bradco, was in a 101mm car so i'll be fine). U know its no custom pte but its $700 less and from a good known source. Tryin to do this within my budget of selin t56.

Now onto shifters. Which do I choose?

[dawdaw]

most have a hurst, b&m, or a cheetah one.. I have a pistol grip quarter stick hurst in mine, fits fine and works great. is the trans your getting a full reverse manual valve body with a brake? and don't expect that converter to be spot on with your set up, it'll probably be to tight If it was set up for a lot higher hp car. might want to send it out and have someone go threw it and set it up according to your set up so you don't have to pull it 2 or 3 times to get it spot on, Lenny at ultimate does good work

[Ryan Stout]

Yea its gonna be a rmvb and a brake. Any reason you picked a quarter stick? Everyone likes what they have but nobody can tell me why lol.

Yea I expect it to be a tad tight. I figure buying a used-but-good kickass converter and having it restalled is cheaper than buying a $1200 new one lol. Depending on how much a driveshaft and whatnot is I may have to keep it.

$3400 budget and I need a trans, shifter, driveshaft/yoke. Got everything else so far.

Jakes 4L80E and nice triple disk converter can be done for 3400. Don't ruin your car with a TH400.

But I still need a shifter, driveshaft, everything to swap it. A buddy of mine has a c6 in a turbo fox. 3.70 gear and 26" tires. Cruises at 2700. Doesn't seem too bad.

A stock auto shifter from an old fbod is way cheaper than a quarter stick etc.

Ryan, I have a th350 in the Monte and I hate it. 3000 cruise rpm with 3.73 gears and 26" tire. I just bought an 80e. Going with the popular hd2 kit to bring it up to 750hp capable. Only downside I see to these (other than the additional weight, which I think will be shed in the aftermarket converter) is the price of available quality converters.

[Ryan Stout]

Sweet. Might have to call jake and see if there's a deal on a level 3. Hmmm

Ok firebird_1995 and shownomercy . Called jake.

TH400-$2250
4L80e-$2700

Both include shipping and stuff to make my speedo work. The 80 can use my driveshaft and a stock shifter (saves about $550), the converter is $850.

TH400 is gonna need a driveshaft, and shifter but my buddy has a converter for it.

Well, thanks to you guys I just ordered a 4l80e from Jake. Level 3 with a D1 RMVB and brake. Gonna call FTI for a converter, got a sale for $750. Just bought a cooler today.

Need: shifter/plate
TH400 yoke
Dipstick

Wooot!!

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

[shownomercy]

And a flexplate, don't forget that.

IMO, I would get a 168 tooth one with dual bolt patterns for the 80e converter (it will have both). You will just need an aftermarket starter for the 168 tooth plate.

I run the lokar dipstick, only complaint is once you add fluid it takes awhile to be able to then read anything off the dipstick cause the tube is small.

Cross member too? And if you are doing a 80e segment swap you need a new ISS/VSS plug etc, and rearrange the main trans plug wires at PCM. Simple stuff.

[Ryan Stout]

Ahh yea forgot lol. Found a local one. Will a converter not bolt up to a 153? I'm getting a billet FTI.

I was gonna call madman on the dipstick, bent tube.

Wait, why would you buy a auto OD trans and then leave out OD lockup...? You cray cray.

And no, the FTI will bolt up to the smaller 153 tooth pattern but I sheered those three bolts and you prob may be making more power than I am. So food for thought.

[firebird_1995]

Is there a way to make a manual lock up switch?

It has lockup. Damn, would a smaller pattern make a difference?

Oh OK I guess the fti converter will have the 153 tooth flywheel pattern on it? Reason I asked is I've got the lt1 tci flexplate and the stock converter definitely does not bolt up.

You mean stock 80e converter right? 80e is 11.5 diameter and 60e is 10.75

The FTI will have the 60e and 80e pattern but with little cuts so the 80e feet fit over the small flexplate.

Otherwise, like I said you step up to the 168 tooth flexplate and you can bolt both patterns up.

Sad how much I know on a useless topic.

Certainly not a useless topic. I still think what's needed in the 80e swap is not fully understood. I know I don't fully understand. A few of you guys that have done it should start a FAQ 80e swap thread. Put some how to's, what ifs, etc in it.

If you have any questions let me know, got pretty good at installing and removing mine :lol:

[Ryan Stout]

Gotcha. I made sure they knew it was for a 153. I was gonna go 164 but I don't wanna buy a new starter, etc. Got a set of arp bolts on the way.

Ill be full of questions.

What threads are the cooler lines?

shows the 97 and later trans are different, idk what Jakes uses for there cores but wouldn't hurt to ask unless they have modified it...

just run a -6 line to the biggest cooler you can run and put a fan on it..

[shownomercy]

I ran straight nipples out of the trans housing to -6an pushlok, which fit fine, I wanted to avoid 90* fittings. Then a big ass B&M up front and derale fan unit under car.

Highly recommend these guys if you can fit em in your budget

didn't you y block yours and return them into a y back into the trans? had any good amount of street duty to see temps?

Yes, but, I am not 100% on those temps now.

Exhaust dump melted connectors so they were getting hot externally.

[dawdaw]

are you dumping the exhaust right at the k member?

[shownomercy]

I was, aimed it by accident at the trans, so the trans temp sender I think got some external heat projected at it.

[Ryan Stout]

I have a hose barb 11x10x3/4" and a -6an 10x7x1.5" here. Opinions?

Go fittings, hose barb and hose clamp is rigged IMO.

MVB means high line pressures, don't cheap out.

[dawdaw]

With a manual valve body 4l80 can you run some form of aftermarket shifter? or using a stock one?

[shownomercy]

Yea, any gate/rachet shifter will work as long as you get it setup for a 4 speed.

Well, dipstick, ARP converter bolts, Trans cooler, 1350 yoke, AN adapters and fittings, and a trans brake button all ordered. This should be EVERYTHING on its way!!!

What manual rack are you running? How hard was it to steer, with skinnies up front, with manual rack?

[Ryan Stout]

Its a madman rack. Its really not bad with skinnies, but you do know it's there. Mine may pop up in the classefieds, putting normal sized fronts on it lol

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

[Flyinz]

Ok. How was the install of it? Before you do it, PM me about it;)

[Ryan Stout]

Easy really. Had to modify the steering shaft and supposed to weld a bracket to your frame. I didn't weld it and it un-pressed itself. I made some brackets to hold itself to its own brackets so it is now a true bolt in. Only permanent mod now is that you have to drill your spindles out for the bump steer kit.

I hope that fixes your issue, but make sure you still thoroughly check things, you could just be masking an issue.

Like I said previously, we have the same motor essentially (short of who built it) and with my solid mounts, I have no vibrations ...

[popo8]

My poly trans mount created nasty vibrations...

[Ryan Stout]

Hmmm. I still have my solids in case. I just want it to be more friendly to drive.

I can't help but wonder if it was that twin disc. He balanced the flexplate but there's also a PP and the mid flywheel or whatever its called. Maybe one of them was off.

The Camaro as you guys know it is gone. Its a bare shell sitting in my barn. I'm sick of problems with teching in at tracks, weight of the 'vert, safety issues, and I never felt "one" with the car like I had with my others. So needless to say, the car is being parted so expect a thread in the for sale section.

NOW ONTO THE GOOD NEWS....

Wait for a new thread to pop up, this one's gonna be a good one. I think you guys will appreciate it as much as I enjoy building it, I hope so at least. Give me 10 minutes.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/28/2aty7yby.jpg

I'm going to get it back on the road first. Then I'll get some measurements on hood clearance and whats possible.... or I guess I could ask someone who has that hood what they have.....

[shownomercy]

That front hub will be tough, but I think you can do it, my elbow/TB sticks out higher than that and I clear it fine with a 3inch cowl.

[firebird_1995]

The front hub is my concern also. At a minimum I could mount it like mine is with the supercharger pulley inline with the stock accessories. The scoop of the hood seems to be in transition at that spot. Maybe a standard cowl would give a little more room in that area.
