MID12sSSS Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Any updates here? Lots of great info. I'll be doing the swap myself this next summer. Kinda irritated that I even wasted my time building a 65E. My opinion, if you plan on making big power in the future, don't waste your time with the 65. I've got over 4K into the 65, torque converter, Flexplate, etc... I could have had an 80E for the same price, if not less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MID12sSSS Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Does it matter what 80E I go with? As long as is 4wd right? Would a '98 work as well as a '06? I'll keep doing some research and post my findings here. Maybe I'll stumble upon a good write up to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a 98 would work but requires some transmission cooler line mods from what he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleansss20 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 anybody want to post driveshaft lengths!? Since im going to have to get them built I dont want to wait until I have the trans mounted in the truck. I would rather have them being made and shipped while im doing everything else so the down time isn't as long. Anybody with this done please go out with a tape measure and help a brotha out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
