Well if the 80 is in good condition to start you could do the transgo hd-2 kit along with a 34 element intermediate sprag for some basic upgrades and you should be ok. I would make sure your using a good quality converter also if your using nitrous. But I wouldn't recommend this on a high mile trans because they usually need bushings and end play adjustments from what we've seen.

Lookin into the plausability of the 85e swap and yeah it owuld have the transgo kit, good clutches, sprag and there were a couple of other odd ad ends. I would be using a FUddle converter I have had good luck with his converters so far. Thanks man and welcome to the site Im sure we will need you alot with the wonderful 60e's
