Newer Engines/6 Speed Auto's
Has anybody yet attempted any of the really new drivetrains out there? I know the LS conversions are going on all over the place, but what about one of the new 6 speed auto trans, or an engine from say the last 3-5 years? Just wondered who's got the time/money to try these adventures...

Re: Newer Engines/6 Speed Auto's
Are you talking about the 6l80 transmissions or later model manuals? From what I understand the 6l80s are capable of more power than they used to be thanks to companies like RPM transmissions and monster, but they are still much more expensive than the old reliable 4l80s.

Re: Newer Engines/6 Speed Auto's
Yeah, something like that (except the 6L80 is an auto trans, but we won't split hairs!). I'll have to browse the LS section and see what's up. I hear GM/FORD has a joint venture auto trans coming out that will be somewhere around 8 - 10 speeds. Imagine that in an old hunk of iron (once a few get crashed so we can raid the junk yards!).
