can anyone give me a parts number for a factory 4l80? gm parts direct or something, just trying to compare this pig to a fully or partially built 4l60

 

I don't know a parts number..but i ahve seen built 80e's for about 4 grand.This includes the unit itself so theres a core charge and everything else that you need.I forget the power it was for but i would figure somewhere in that ballpark for a built one and all the stuff you need to get it to mount up and go.

 

yea well if i went with the 80 i wouldnt get it built cuz i dont think i would ever get enough power to blow one of those, i was just trying to see how close it would be to a built level 3/4/5 60

 

Well, I'm sure that with everything your gonna be looking to do you would need to upgrade a few parts even in the 80E.Factory they only handle about 80 more hp than the 60E.
If your looking for a GMpart direct its gonna be pricey i would imagine as they want a decent amount for just a 60E.
Even still i would try to find one from a wrecked truck instead of a new unit from GM.
Maybe someone will chime in with a part number though so you can have an exact idea of the price difffernace.

 

yea i would either ebay it or junk yard it im just looking for a upper end price range of what to expect

 

cost is around 1800 and list is about 2900 from dealership.

 

good deal thanks for the info looks like ill just do the 60 build
