You can have a shaft built for $300-400 and it's worth the money for piece of mind. I have a NA 5.3(nitrous currently disconnected) and I swapped to a built 4l80. I do have other plans in the future, but I have zero trans worries and I like the split from 1st to 2nd gear so much better. No more lugging after the shift. My mpg have stayed within 1-2 mpg difference. I will never own another 60e in a truck again for the shift alone. Also I drove for 2 years with all torque management removed,3200 stall, factory external trans cooler,bolt ons and 100 shot. Thought I broke my 60e, found out it was a mouse under the engine fuse box eating wires.
Wolf,
I'd need to find out what grade aluminum it is to make sure it holds up.
I think I might e-mail the shop who did my rear end and see what they recommend.

Driveshaft shop may sell you a stick... Just a thought, or machine supplyhouse
Kinda wishing i had gotten ahold of an 80 at this point, but i will kill one more 60 first... Lmao

Hahaha, I'm going to do the swap before my 60 goes.
Even though its been acting the same way for over 2 years. Doesn't seem likes its on its way out, haha. I would like to swap it in also before I drop the new motor in.
I need to find someone with a NNBS Tahoe who did an 80E swap and get some driveshaft info from them. Mostly length info.
