Late model drive train in a 68

For all you guys into swapping new stuff into the old iron, I thought this was a pretty nice set up. Nice and clean.

Re: Late model drive train in a 68

They have got some killer stuff on their website. I would like to know more about their gauges they have in that truck. I am running a 2007 powertrain and I am not sure what I am going to do for gauges yet..

Re: Late model drive train in a 68

Is it a 6L90E or 6L80E tranny? The title of the video says 80.

I know the latest beta version of HPTuner has some new stuff to tune the 6L80E. I haven't gotten a chance to play around with it in my G8 yet, but I will soon. I know there is a lot of performance gain by just messing with the tranny controller.

Re: Late model drive train in a 68

i have a 406sbc going into my 72 burb 2wd 3/4 ton to replace the measly 307. at that time i will be getting something in the 3.50-3.73 range to replace the stock 4.57 final drive, preferably with a locker. some day i want to go with multi-port injection and will have to figure out a clean way to put a larger fuel tank with in tank fuel pump in place without hacking up my truck or interfering with the hitch.

Re: Late model drive train in a 68

Wow, I did not know Joe the Plumber had an internet T.V. Show? I wish that they would have shown more of the truck, and less of the dudes, and interviewer? Did they ever show the engine? Luckily I do not have sound so I did not have to listen to them, but it get's boring pretty quick.
