styleandspeed Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 You could try to find used ones here car-part.com Otherwise I bet zippy could order some new ones. If you buy new ones I think people should all chip in since this could greatly benefit the SS community. I would be willing to chip in some.

SuperSport Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 vettedude, if you really think you can build them out of some good material and harden them. i should be able to chip in some R&D money also. The only other problem is how much power can a 4L80e really handle more than a like a FLP stage 5. Parish8 blew his 80 up pretty quick, and unfortunately they do not make a lot of aftermarket parts for the 80, other than a shift kit, convertors, and tranny pans.

I also believe parish's trans had like 50k miles on it when he bought it.... If the shafts are not outrageously expensive, i can probably buy them myself, and then get the money back if and when i make some hardened ones...

TurbochargedBerserker Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I thought Parish rebuilt his and added a shift kit. FLP is now building 80s, so you should be able to get parts soon. I think Joe is looking at/already building 80s too? If the new FLP L5s are holding 800 rwhp, I think they are at least equal to or a little stronger than an 80. Parish burned his 80 with 630rwhp, so that's around 750 fwhp.

BenKey Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 So, where you mention 800, you mean fwhp then, right? What kind of hp are you expecting out of your stroker with the amount of boost you're wanting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette dude Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 one question, are we NR8, MN8 or NR4? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah, i was confused too, i am guessing it is an option code or something, it is asking at the site, once you fill in the information, ie.. 2003 silverad0 1500 transfer case then you are given some options, dash switch (electric shift), 4L60E (opt M30), opt NP8 floor shift, (opt NP2), MT floor shift, (opt NP2), AT dash switch (electric shift), 4L80E (opt MT1 or MN8) dash switch (electric shift), 4L60E (opt M30), opt NR4 i am not thinking any of those are right, but i dunno.

mwalls54 Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 i think parish's 80 will hold 1000fwhp from what i remember. i am sure it wont be long untill there are parts for the 80 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vette dude Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 yeah, he mentions on his site that there are built 80's that can withstand up to 1200 HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of hp are you expecting out of your stroker with the amount of boost you're wanting? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. As I said, FLP L5s are holding 800 rwhp according to Chuck (at least one is -- in a Vette). My target is 750-800 fwhp. It depends on whether I can actually gt 18+psi or not with the methanol. I've been reading that the truck manifold won't make that much HP though I have no doubt that the built 80s will hold more than the L5. I was comparing it to the rebuilt (to stock) version that Parish was running (and killed). FLP is building his new 80 and Chuck said its a monster.

BenKey Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 You said "building"? I thought Parish already had his built 80 in. Did he blow that one up already? He put it in about 3 months ago. Is that what you mentioned in the previous post? Maybe I didn't catch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I didn't catch that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Parish rebuilt his 80 and Chuck was building / built an FLP 80 for him about the same time as he built my FLP. That's the last time I talked to Chuck about Parish's setup. I dunno if its in or not? This whole thing started when someone was talking about Parish's stock 80...

BenKey Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Okay, same one. I haven't been on LS1 tech in quite a while. Didn't know if something had happened or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
