A 4l80 will take more power is go ahead and do the swap if you have the funds for it I wish I did when mine went in feb
Depends on how much you find one for I've seen junk yard 80s go for about 700 and you need a new drive shaft harness and a tune
damn, yeah thats prolly not in my budget. suggestions on goodies to add to my 60e? it all stock now.
Well i plan on tuning but not till i redo exhaust with headers. Would a servo shift kit and tune be an overkill for the tranny since i wont have many motor mods?
I wouldn't stall untill you cam and and when you do throw a trans cooler on there to be safe but for basic boltons a shift kit and servo should be fine, you could also do a tbss stall a lil bigger stall than stock in our 60s
dudes, i may have skimmed over it to quick, but with a 2wd rcsb do i HAVE to fab a cross member for a 4l80? from a 60e
Yea I'm pretty sure since 80e is a couple inches longer. I thought we could just replace a yoke and get away with the stock driveshaft on an rcsb
yeah, my tranny hasnt givin out...yet but i want to be ready ya know, it's my DD
you need to get on your swap, it' fun when its all done!

Yep gimme a couple weeks 
I'm going to be afraid of the tranny exploding though, so all in all a 4l80 swap would be like 3-4k? Including tranny verter and driveshaft?

It all depends how much you find one for I had a buddy find one at a junkyard for his tbss for 300 and got it rebuilt stalled tranny cooler for about 2k
Sick, I'm doing the tranny on December. I'll probably get lazy and buy a flt level 6 4l60 though lol
