Re: My 85 C10
I guess some pics are needed!
Ls1/4l60e are in the truck. Need some opinions on adapting the 4l80e to the LS1. I know Circle D have stalls available, but I believe the stall speed is only up to 3000rpm for their 278mm.

Re: My 85 C10
Notice the cable end of the rod. To use the Lokar throttle cable with the clevis end, the split at the end could be a problem. It also wont work with it running parallel with the firewall.

Re: My 85 C10
Trying too! Working 30 hour shifts and off for 18 hours with no days off this year has really killed me having much time haha. Hopefully I'll have everything put together by the end of January. I plan on taking it all apart after that and having the frame and tons of other stuff powder coated in Hobbs, New Mexico.
I am going to try and knock out most of the body work while the frame is there then get it all back together.

Went with a 278mm Circle D 4l80e 3000-3200rpm stall convertor. Got it in about 3 business days. Looks amazing!!! Excellent customer service

I also ordered a TCI flexplate that is dished like the ls1 flexplate and the convertor is made to fit the flexplate of the ls1/4l80e. Part number for the flexplate is #399753

Re: My 85 C10
Sign me up! My square is an 85 too and I have a 5.3/4L60E just waiting... I like where you are going so far, especially with the suspension.

Re: My 85 C10
I’m sure the vent windows will be top notch. Their fee is reasonable compared to what it would cost me to do myself. By the time I break them apart, but new parts and get them sandblasted/powdercoated, I think it would cost me over $500.

If you use the camaro LS3 or L99 waterpump like I am using, it will line up with the truck accessories of your 5.3 and you can use a short uppoer radiator hose like I am using instead of running one across your radiator.

Re: My 85 C10
Today I cleaned up a bunch of small stuff that I have been needing to do. Also got the passenger side Schoenfeld header bolted up.

Re: My 85 C10
Glad to see you're keeping at it. That's a neat truck. What is it that you do that has the long-haul shifts like that?

The survice I primarly provide is perforating. I send down explosives into the well and I shoot perforating guns to make holes in the casing (pipe). Frac then pumps sand through those holes. The thing is we usually only do an area of 100-200’ at a time. Frac will pump sand. Then we send more guns in and shoot more holes, then they frac again.
