Update.
T56 is sold. Guy offered a good chunk for it. Looking for a 400. Might've found a lightly used Rossler 400. Also found a killer deal on a converter locally (3400 stall Bradco, was in a 101mm car so i'll be fine). U know its no custom pte but its $700 less and from a good known source. Tryin to do this within my budget of selin t56.
Now onto shifters. Which do I choose?

most have a hurst, b&m, or a cheetah one.. I have a pistol grip quarter stick hurst in mine, fits fine and works great. is the trans your getting a full reverse manual valve body with a brake? and don't expect that converter to be spot on with your set up, it'll probably be to tight If it was set up for a lot higher hp car. might want to send it out and have someone go threw it and set it up according to your set up so you don't have to pull it 2 or 3 times to get it spot on, Lenny at ultimate does good work
Yea its gonna be a rmvb and a brake. Any reason you picked a quarter stick? Everyone likes what they have but nobody can tell me why lol.
Yea I expect it to be a tad tight. I figure buying a used-but-good kickass converter and having it restalled is cheaper than buying a $1200 new one lol. Depending on how much a driveshaft and whatnot is I may have to keep it.
$3400 budget and I need a trans, shifter, driveshaft/yoke. Got everything else so far.

there just nice, no real reason lol... you should be able to buy everything else, a strange 3" chromoly driveshaft isn't pricey and will hold with what you're doing.
Sweet. I have a strange chromoly right now for an s60. Wonder if it can be lengthened.

But I still need a shifter, driveshaft, everything to swap it. A buddy of mine has a c6 in a turbo fox. 3.70 gear and 26" tires. Cruises at 2700. Doesn't seem too bad.

A stock auto shifter from an old fbod is way cheaper than a quarter stick etc.Quote:

Level 2 80e $2000

You get a custom 'verter to your specs and its all brand new.
Ryan, I have a th350 in the Monte and I hate it. 3000 cruise rpm with 3.73 gears and 26" tire. I just bought an 80e. Going with the popular hd2 kit to bring it up to 750hp capable. Only downside I see to these (other than the additional weight, which I think will be shed in the aftermarket converter) is the price of available quality converters.
Sweet. Might have to call jake and see if there's a deal on a level 3. Hmmm

Ok @firebird_1995 and @shownomercy . Called jake.
TH400-$2250
4L80e-$2700
Both include shipping and stuff to make my speedo work. The 80 can use my driveshaft and a stock shifter (saves about $550), the converter is $850.
TH400 is gonna need a driveshaft, and shifter but my buddy has a converter for it.
Decisions decisions...

80e hands down

My numbers. Both are converted for electronic speedo.

With that close of a price, 80e.
You will not regret maintaining some form of OD.
Your gonna miss that overdrive

Yea kinda what I'm leanin towards. Didnt realize it would be THAT close.
Now I gotta look for a stock shifter, cable, and console plate. Sold mine a while back.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
I may have all of that actually.
Sweet! My buddy has a firebird parts car. Has a shifter and cable for me. I may just need a camaro shift knob and clip
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Just looked and all I have is the shifter assembly and cable. I forgot we used the console insert on my dads camaro.
I have a knob and console insert.

Ah sweet! My buddys gonna check on the cable. I may have to hit you guys up for stuff lol. Either of ya have a th400/4l80 slip yoke bu chance?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Yea just let me know if you need any of this. Its yours for the price of shipping. The 80e I have has a yoke in it but it seems like its attached. I'm still learning on these so I don't know. I know its not the one with the brake on the back.
No 80 parts let me know on the others.only shipping as well

TH400 yoke
Dipstick
Wooot!!

And a flexplate, don't forget that.
IMO, I would get a 168 tooth one with dual bolt patterns for the 80e converter (it will have both). You will just need an aftermarket starter for the 168 tooth plate.
I run the lokar dipstick, only complaint is once you add fluid it takes awhile to be able to then read anything off the dipstick cause the tube is small.
Cross member too? And if you are doing a 80e segment swap you need a new ISS/VSS plug etc, and rearrange the main trans plug wires at PCM. Simple stuff.
Ahh yea forgot lol. Found a local one. Will a converter not bolt up to a 153? I'm getting a billet FTI.
I was gonna call madman on the dipstick, bent tube.
Gonna mod my t56 crossmember
RMVB, no auto control.

Wait, why would you buy a auto OD trans and then leave out OD lockup...? You cray cray.Quote:

Is there a way to make a manual lock up switch?
It has lockup. Damn, would a smaller pattern make a difference?
Yes he's throwing in a box to enable lockup with a switch.

Doubt it, I was more going for the 6 bolt vs 3 argument. I am blaming my failure on shoddy bolts.Quote:
