80e... NO REGRETS.. the guy is still driving mine with the 80e.... to me the little bit of loss is worth the insurance of a stronger trans.. although i liked the gearing... first was long but the others were all closer together... you wont regret it...
i had 2,000 in my swap.. thats with 1,000 in a tq converter

I went thru about 15 4L60Es before i went with an 80E..
No problems since.. also a very hard shifting 60E will kill the output shaft very quick. that was one of my problems, i learned later on anyway.
The swap is very very simple..
All you need is a complete trans, TC, dipstick, shifter bracket and Flexplate for 80E.
Mod your Crossmember and bolt everything in,, get a TH400 Yoke and i think you have to get your DS shortened.
Wiring is easy..
