Keep up good work Aaron. Its going very nicely.

Re: my 80 build
 

thanks guys, I plan on having the motor buttoned up by next week and maybe I can get a core trans mission so I can mock every thing up and order some headers

Re: my 80 build
 

Making good progress....Keep plugging away at it. :metal:

Re: my 80 build
 

thanks john
got a little done today, but still need to torque the bolts, I planed on getting a junk 4l80e so I can mock up the motor But the trans shop my work does business said the 4l80s are stout and they haven't worked on many

Re: my 80 build
 

well I got the camshaft retainer plate and sprocket torqued down, but I decided I'm going to get a new pump, and maybe I'll get it today and button up the bottom of the motor, timing cover, and possible valley cover, every part wheel get a new seal or o ring

Re: my 80 build
 

I got the oil pump, wind-age tray, pick up tube, oil pan, timing cover, and valley cover installed and torqued down

Re: my 80 build

Re: my 80 build
 

Looks sweet Aaron

Re: my 80 build
 

I'm not for sure but I won't be running a/c, the heat doesn't bother me just the cold does


thanks nbpro and John

Re: my 80 build
 

sweet man

Re: my 80 build
 

Nice!

Re: my 80 build
 

thanks guys called Larry at lkq and got the trans coming 4l80e with 107,000 and torque converter with 6 month warranty for 950

Re: my 80 build
 

got the motor off the stand and bolted up the fly wheel

Re: my 80 build
 

Did you get your motor through LKQ? Do they work with you on pricing or is it firm? That's where I'm thinking of getting mine from.

Re: my 80 build
 

I got it from bow auto in New Hampshire

well I got my transmission but the pan is full of metal so I'll send it back Monday and see what happens and also I have another problem my fly wheel has a 3 bolt pattern and the torque converter is a 6 bolt

Re: my 80 build
 

950 sounds a little high for the 4l80E. If they don't come through, call Robert at RCS in Tyler. 1.800.259.4020. They deliver here daily.

Re: my 80 build
 

I couldn't wait

Re: my 80 build
 

it ended up be over 1200 with the core and taxes so, if I have any trouble sending trans back and getting one that doesn't have a pan full of metal I'll send it back and give them a call

Re: my 80 build
 

well it looks like I need to get a fly wheel and spacer from a 6.0 that came with 4l80, then I need to get a arp crank pulley bolt and torque converter bolts, when I get another trans I'll check the pan if good then a new filter which I do have, degrease the trans and bolt it to up to the motor, mock up to the trans cross member and install the valve springs and bolt up the accessories

Re: my 80 build
 

I yanked out the passenger side floor pan cover panel, and I going to replace it with a weld in floor pan, I ordered both sides from capt and also ordered a arp crank pulley bolt and torque converter bolts
