Thats the truth.

Those totes and bags would have ended up at a trans builder if I were that one trying to do it.

 

Thanks guys, ya i started getting pretty nervous when i started taking it apart, but handling it in sections worked out pretty good. I had 2 different manuals and in combination they were great. Eventually when i get to build a car i plan on building another 80 with a brake.

 

Congrats on your build man!

Nothing like the satisfaction of doing it yourself, your braver and have more time than me!!

That case really looks nice painted up

You'll like the BW clutches, mine are holding up very well.

Also what a great feeling to have a trans that will hold whatever you throw at it and not puke out like a 60E.

Thanks for documenting all the way, this will help lots of peeps.

How high CR is your LQ9?

 

Thanks Tim, i have always tried todo all my stuff myself. This was a biggy, i have one other thing to replace then EVERYTHING on my truck will be done with my hands. Oh and my CR is around 10.8.

 

I bet 8-10 PSI and some meth or corn juice will just be insane

 

nice!

 

Here is the wire frame for my cross member for the 4l80... I could not do more because i when i picked up my hood, it was shattered... so everything is tacked and mocked up... Next i gotta start cutting some plate...





My poor hood...






The plan


My homemade jig

 

Looks good!

Very nice setup.. this has got me looking forward to my 80e build
