Tranny will get a shift kit and bigger stall probly in the 3200 to 3600 range also vette servo.
Won't be needing a vette servo if you're using the trans from the 2500. You're heading the right direction installing a 4L80.

Cool deal bro, 6.0/ 80e is a stout drive train for sure ,
I'm sure with minimal rebuilding you'll have a kick *** combo.

Are you staying n/a ? This can affect head gasket choice , boost guys run the LS9 gaskets.

An LS6 oil pump and LS2 timing chain are good items to use (I have em) along with LS7 lifters.

A shift kit / stock rebuild with Borg Warner hi energy clutches will get your trans in shape.

ya def looking into the tr228 but i duno what LSA to get??


Thanks Tim

Not sure Probly staying na for a while unless the funds come raining in off trees. lol

Def going to get Ls7 lifters. Never read anythin on the timing chain or the oil pump. Might have to lookin to that for the rebuild.

Shift kit Stall and rebuild for the trans have to see about them clutches ur talking about..

My big Question now is what LSA on the Cam??

Thanks for all the Advice guys

Hope to pull the trigger on this truck this week or next week.. Im waiting on a call.
