So I picked up a (supposed to be a runner) 2wd 91-96 4l80e this weekend. $200 and only had to drive like 5 minutes. Seemed too good to pass up even though I don’t really have an immediate purpose for it.

Temptation to put it in the Firebird. Makes me wish I had paid the extra for the Terminator X Max instead of the normal Terminator when I installed that. Looks like it’s $1000 to upgrade. Tactical error on my part. I also hate to give up the money I have invested in my th400 converter from TSP.

Kicking around the idea of throwing a kit in it myself. Everyone always says “They are good to 600+ ftlbs easy with minimal upgrade. And that they are an easy trans to work with.

What are those upgrades? Because it’s an early unit I assume I need a different direct drum with the 34 Sprag deal? Is that all I need for it to live behind my 461?

Honestly if it were a 97+ unit I might be inclined to toss it in as is.

Even though I got it cheap when you start adding up swap parts, converter, cross member, controller. Even without any rebuild cost it’s probably 2k+ in parts.

Also, most of the adapter units for BOP to Chevy trans say, th400, 700r4 etc. there is no reason if it works for those it wouldn’t work for a 4l80e right?
