I purchased my 4l80e as a rebuildable core. It had come out of a 92 K1500 work truck that had rolled. So I'm using the pan that came along with that.

The shop that rebuilt it said it had likely been rebuilt within 30-50k miles previously. I as well went with an early model as the case design makes it a bit easier to get in the tunnel. We targeted what would be a Jakes stage 2 type build, or similar to the Hughes transmission. Shift kit that direct feeds the drums, removal of the wave plates, in favor of additional clutches, pump and valvebody modifications.

My cost from the builder was $2050.00 and I purchased the core for $400.00
