Very similar setups I'd say. My plan is to pull it and install it with the transfer case already attached. Debatable but I find it easier to do that way.

 

Double checking the converter to flexplate. I've been burnt before, better to find anything wrong now instead of later. One of my PI converters was cut to the wrong bolt pattern.

It's nice that I have an assortment of parts to check things. I now own 5 converters. 3 flexplates and 3 transmissions.

5.3L flexplate on the new PI 80E converter. Compare the bolt pattern to the flexplate and the snout into the crank.


5.3L flexplate on a stock 60e converter. Looks like above


5.3L flexplate on a stock 4l80e for compare. Note the snout not engaged.


5.3L flexplate on stock 80e converter. Note the different bolt pattern. Of course 6 vs 3 and its also larger diameter.


80E converter left 60/65e converter right. Hate wasting a nice picture

 

Looks like your soon going to be able to quit your day job and start a 4l80 swap business from the garage for all us members, great posts keep up the great work you helped me alot.

 

Excellent write-up!

Kudo's to Vince for stopping by and lending a hand!!

 

Awesome write up, I know where to go if I ever decide to do this!

 

U done yet. lol. Or aiming for dew..

When I get to make my crossmember here in a few weeks, I will check/use your measurements.... I believe theyre the same for a 2wd....

 

I have hard time to understanding. For 2006 Silverado 5.3 2 wheels drive. 60E swap to 80E All I need to know the pcm wire needs to change to new connect to sensor on Pin 22 (red) and 23 (blue). Plug in to Vss Sensor. What my currently wires now and need cut and slice swap to right for 80E. I know all I need to retune for 80E after wire change. Hope you dont mind to explain me a little clear. Crossmember you put plate it was 1/4 thick?

 

you dont cut anything on the plug take it apart and take the white and brown pin out and and put the brown pin where the white wire was and leave the white wire it's not that difficult then run your wires for the speed sensor cut your crossmember and move the center back 6" for a 2wd truck the 2wd and 4 wd is different.

 

You say take out brown and white from pin and put brown pin in white pin and white wire not need to use? Or you mean white go to speed sensor? I just a little confuse. The pin where come from PCM right?

The crossmember I mean what size of plate how thick or thickness like 1/4?

 

No still sitting there. I might start the swap in a couple week. Many more pictures to come then.

I don't believe they are the same for 2wd. I think you move the section much further back on a 2wd.
