Hi, anyone running a similar trans combo ? Considering a US Shift/Quick 1 controller, and JM flexplate. I need feedback. Thanks, ateam.:coffee2:
>> I haven't received adapter BH yet. Will it requre an adapter ring ? Anyone running a 4L80E, built by Hughes ? Thanks, flyingwedge.Might want to lose the QT adapter.....my car is far from done but that is the same adapter I have....and another member here...and he had a crap load of leaks. Contact Chris at
http://ckperformance.com/index.html
and have him hook you up with the Reid Racing bell
http://www.reidracing.biz/
and the adapter ring/pump set up....From what I understand Chris builds some *** kicking transmissions....
If Chris is not to your liking give Jake at
http://jakesperformance.com/
a call, he does the same set up.....
Both build there own t-brakes as well...if you want/need one....
And if you ever get to AZ give my buddy Doug a call at
http://www.buytransmission.net/
he builds some great transmissions for all sorts of hot rods....
The 727 with a GV is lighter than the 4l80 without a converter, just something to consider.
>. I have been informed by JM and trans builders, the 4L80E pump face must be machined flat/parallel, for effective mounting/sealing. I'm prepared to do this. For better up-shifts, I like the design that "releases" frictionals, rater than applying. Some say this is an advantage of the TH400 and 4L80E. Cheers, flyingwedge. :coffee2:Lol! the 4L80 is a heavy sombitch, that's for sure!

>> I wasn't able to find a 48RE core. Martin Saine wants $4,600+ my core. Yes, I'm shure it would be a quality build. Speaking only for me, too much $'s and too much tunnel work. I like the power flow of TH400/4L80E's. Unknowm-yet, as a 5-6 speed. Cheers, flyingwedge.Why wouldn't you use the 48re if you had to go with a od trans, or the 545. ?
Are you using the modified 80e with 6 spds or just the 80e?

>> How does a 727 and a GV, has less drag than a 4L80E ? Cost of a GV is ? I must consider bang for buck, which is why I chose the 4L80E. It is considerably lighter than the A518, and will fit easier. Cheers, flyingwedge.:coffee2:Thats a lot of weight to want to be familiar with and drag around though for the 4 gears, the 727 with the gv is lighter and the option of using the gv between adding to performance.
>> According to the SMR,(convertors) webbsite, A518= 170 lbs dry/no convertor. $l80E = 187 lbs, dry/no convertor and 727 with GV. is 195.55 lbs. Fast 01, thanks for the pic's and info.:burnout: flyingwedge.I don't think the 80e is lighter than a 46rh/518, pretty positive the 80e has that covered comfortably, i know the 27 w/gv is lighter than the 80e, 160 to 178, without TC's.
Fast01 I am doing a 4l80E swap and having a hard time getting a converter to work, would you mind if I asked you a few ?'s, Maybe a e-mail? (E mail address removed by Moderator)Sorry for the sideways pictures! My phone keeps uploading them that way.
