Is your truck 2WD? Even if it isn't I would not stick anything but a 4L80-E in there.
Cost it out:
-got my 2000-model 80 off EBay for $685+115SH with TC and dipstick.
-put a $180 B&M pan on it.
-replaced the separator plate with TransGo's plate for $20
-installed a TransGo shift kit for $120
-installed a Level10 PTS rebuild kit for $525
-installed a Sonnax line adapter for $45
-2.5" square tube and angle steel for crossmember was $55
-replaced bad forward input drum $100
-upgraded to 2001 design OD roller clutch $485
-Installed TCI transmission controller $670
-fluid about $50
I rebuilt the trans and fabricated the crossmember myself - $0
The entire project ran me about $3K. Worth every penny. You won't even need the $700 controller - your stock PCM can run it with an inexpensive harness adpater and some programming.
DO IT!

Parish got his Eaton into the 11's and took it through how many .. 3? .. FLP lvl 4 transmissions.

, the thing is holding up great, gets a posi everytime. the only complaint is if i try and do anything fun with it other than strait line it unhooks and turns into a one wheel wonder. cookies are fun and i miss them

i think i am going to pull her and see what she looks like. by a 80e somewhere and throw it in. i might even sell the heads i am getting and use some of that money.

Lance, what are you gonna do? Buy a differant trans? Upgrade? Running all power do you need to go to the 80?
