I am going to buy a built one from a guy in sherman pretty soon. The damn T/C is what gets you on the 80e, ther are about $800-$1k then theres the shaft upgrade... my 80e, T/C, speed balanced steel shaft and swap is going to rune me about $3,000 alone. But its worth it.

I should have done an 80e from the get go.
Yeah, the 80E converters are normally more expensive, but there are a few companies that do sell some 80E converters for less. Edge Racing, TCS, PTC, Revmax are some that come to mind.

Edge Racing has a street edge 80E converter starting at $585. If you want a billet 80E converter, then yeah almost all brands are expensive.

I received a heck of a discount on my PI 3k stall from my engine builder today. I am going to love that 5 year waranty on the T/c. I was undecided between Circle D and PI.

The 60 is never going to last. Do it right once and beat on it for years or build a 60 and I will get to read about how you should have went with an 80 in a couple months. Not trying to be harsh, just trying to save you the heartache. Look how all the 80 guys wish they had swapped earlier. learn from others mistakes. My .02 deposited.
